Winter Blossoms

December Lilacs

By Aaron Michael GrantPublished about 5 hours ago 1 min read
I have never seen the like - December Lilacs in South Dakota. Everything else dead and the monarchs who would soon be dead were rejoicing nonetheless.

Why do you Persist?

All is dead but your light hue.

Blossoms carry life.
