Arrested Moment

The cottage gate now stands ajar Unbolted by wind and rain And lonely pink roses growing apart Reach to touch as in sweet refrain Crisp silence rules both day and night Uneasiness settles as my heart slowly sinks For there's not a creature within sight Seems, gone forever is the missing link Although the grass grows lush and green No man’s feet have beaten a path No bushy tail squirrels are to be seen Nor the discarded acorns left after a spat The seasons flow throughout the years And the mystery deepens still I dare not speak to all my fears Time has arrested this moment at will ~*~ 7/30/'13 For: "Glimpses of Epiphany" Contest By: Annalise
