A Match Made in Heaven

We don't often indulge
in this manner
but we did on this occasion
introduce them to one another.
One, tall and robust, 
the other slight, even
frail in appearance
but both happy in spring.
And it was springtime 
in our garden when we
played matchmaker. They
will not, alas, live together 
happily ever after, however.
We know their relationship
will be short-lived, a mere dalliance
quite unlike our own. For the
moment, though, their twinning
is blissful and their complementary
fragrance a divine delight.
As lilac and lily-of-the-valley
together occupy a vase seated
on our dining room table.
