Blooms In the Garden- Vision

The dismal morning seemed to sigh As sonorous thunder heralded the dawn Surreal was the sky That the rains had spawned All the gardens were abloom Except for one beset with weeds It was a garden full of gloom It's just tender loving care it needs Hummingbirds didn't visit the garden anymore In other corridors they now flew But it was dazzling once before Where gorgeous roses grew Murmurous was the sound When the thunder did recede I decided to make this garden rebound And give it the care it needed I tended to the garden and gave it beauty again Beautiful was that garden when the summer came The lady who lived there thanked me But I found it quite arcane For she had died some years before And yet she knew my name ---- 4/28/16
