12.3.14 All But A Memory and Gone

Photo: Come winter, there is no 
need for gardens here; not their
riotous profusion, nor their
endless, tender care

Instead, the beds lie
barren now, forgotten 
Their dew slicked leaves 
limp from frost ; those heavy

Blossoms fallen
The bustling insects 
that sang so sweetly
through endless summer evenings 
all but a memory, and gone

Come winter, there is no
need for gardens here; not their
riotous profusion, nor their
endless, tender care

Instead, the beds lie
barren now, forgotten
Their dew slicked leaves
limp from frost ; those heavy

Blossoms fallen
The bustling insects
that sang so sweetly
through endless summer evenings
all but a memory, and gone
