Description

I wrote in the summer garden

I wrote 

‘in the summer garden, 

the light was golden, 

the air, 

clear and pure, 

the dawn 

lifted the skies 

towards the heavens, 

time turned 

upon the tides 

as I listened 

to the waves 

break upon the distant shore,’

And then I stopped

and wondered, 

did it matter at all?

And then continued,

with these words

and watched 

the summer fall,

‘In the east 

gathered a storm

in clouds 

of grey and black

with hammers 

of thunder 

lightning hissing

and a thousand eyes

red, aflame

and abandoned 

humanity

looking scared 

looking back,’

and then I paused

for a butterfly 

had alighted

in the colours 

of blossoming,

flowers 

of morning sky,

and I asked myself

the question 

holding back 

in mourning,

‘Why?Why?’
