Description

In the Garden

Listening 

to the water, 

trickle 

the passing

of life 

into time

storm

and stream, 

whilst above 

November skies, 

sparkle 

with high

crystal clouds

so clear 

reminding 

of a summer 

and morning, 

and Spring 

as last winter

had once 

foreseen

For,

as yesteryear

beneath 

the apple tree, 

the last fluttering 

of butterflies 

and leaves, 

a blackbird 

hops between 

the shadows,

of time,

and apples 

wrinkled, 

autumn red 

brown

with memories

of green

 

As today

there is no wind 

just silence, 

distant voices 

of walkers, 

chattering 

on the lane 

walking

to winter, 

upon the softened

ground,

hints 

of December 

to come

upon the frozen

world, 

lost and once 

again

and again,

in ice 

and snow

to be found.
