There is such a beauty in d e c a y i n g flowers, charm, allure and splendor in summer showers. Murmuring in the fields and my drooping garden, oh, a sweet melody of u t t e r total abandon. Lovely, my horse forages in a meadow of yarrow, soon these fields will be snow covered, oh sorrow. Yet, there is a deep tranquility in changing leaves, gold, red and yellow s t o l e n by wind thieves. And that first perfect snowflake of l a c e filigree, cold, crisp- me and my horse will fly with jubilee. But, although the flowers are fading- crumbling, there is time for delicate summer blooms tumbling. Today, I found within my sad garden, a r e d rose, it made me w e e p that soon summer will repose. ____________________________ August 22, 2016 Poetry/Couplet/Fading Summer Copyright Protected, ID 16-822-281-0 All Rights Reserved.
