Lilacs in the Morning

We grew lilacs in the garden
as I was growing up
soft lavendar, pink and white ones
Clusters full, popping and firm
fragrant only in the morning dew

Walking after waking
lilac scent filled the air
nature's spray of morning perfume
so faint, so pale, so fair

so perfect, profound, and pure
perfectly suited to me

Not obvious
not accepted
nor shouting in a crowd
so barely even noticed
hidden neath a shroud

breathe deeply into morning air
while dew is still around
smell me in the lilac's breeze
so faint, yet can be found
