Garden Party

Garden Party

A Poem by Laura E. Aranda
"

Rejoicing in the time of the end of Hitle's reign. Written for 10/40 poetry contest. Using these words:perfume splendid presence oblivion purer glass sky serene two merciful

"

 Jasmines' aromatic perfume 

Through splendid gardens

Hushed conversions created  presence

Outside matters thrust into oblivion

No purer night 

Friends raised their glass toasting sky

Serene promises made that garden of lasting friendships

Two  jasmines watched

Life finally merciful to all

How many Jews didn't see the outside night air for fear of death? Being outside, partying, and living without looking over ones shoulder must have been like being a new birth. I am so happy about writing this one. I am proud of this one....
