Don't Ask

Don’t ask, and never be afraid
The weather casts some chill
Your garden it redecorates 
Down on your window sill
The petals of your roses fall
They tremble on the wind
But you aren’t there, so I won’t call
A red rose petal spins
And lands somewhere in the grass
Which grew a bit too high
Don’t be afraid, and please don’t ask
Life is the art of time 
But lines get dim, and colours fade
Our smiling faces blur
Now in the house where we stayed
The moon paints on the floor.
