Aster 'Blue Autumn'

Aster 'Blue Autumn,' summer wanes. 
The shining sky of dusk is drenched in splendor.
Tremulously, I watch shadows that arrive 
all to soon-to purloin sun's last rays. 

Aster 'Blue Autumn,' Virgo aches, 
and you're re-birthed from star dust that she cries- 
to bloom beneath blue skies until the fatal time
when breath is snatched . . . Pensively I wait.

Inspired by the Aster flower named Blue Autumn
