Chocolate Lilies

The wild native grasses
have thrown their seeds and died
in mother nature’s garden
where they gladly step aside
for a golden arch of new life,
along the countless greening spear,
with a slight hint of chocolate
for the ending of the year.

Summer turns all golden
with the leaving of the spring,
reviving buds are bursting
with a wont to bring
the mauvest stars for Christmas
in the hot sun to appear,
with a slight hint of chocolate
for the ending of the year.

‘Tis now time for reflection
and remembering a birth.
For growing of a young life;
some returning to the earth.
So another year is ending
where a diary closes here,
with a slight hint of chocolate
for the ending of a year.

When it comes to chocolate Rico, spring must go for twelve months. There really is some beautiful bushland flowers if you look carefully when bushwalking - thank you Rico - Lindsay

Another year gone, but memories made in every season - different from your other poems Lindsay but chocolatey and wonderful - Christmas is around the corner and we are reminded with this poem in the third verse what this festive season is really all about. Well penned my friend. Hugs, Jennifer.

Hello Jennifer … these inoffensive grass like lilies are hard to notice without their flower stems and blue flowers. Easy to grow from seed and look great in a home garden - thank you Jennifer - Lindsay
