No, She Says Poem by Joseph Narusiewicz

Like little elves the humming birds hover
Beauty brings a mystic wing
Love like a rainbow
Speech drifting in time
Poetry flowing in the wind
Tonight the silent summer ends
Hope has enlarged the window
Life has brilliant stars

Onions and butter
Garlic and blueberries
Her divorce has brought solitude
Walks and country roads
Rivers with prayer
The quiet life
Will you go out with me?
No, she says, I am not ready
