Forgotten Winter
Weighted now with ancient mystery
she stands among serenity
in full bloom of twilight's sigh
with abundant bouquets
of wild sage and thyme
that makes aging
possibly
worth the
wait
nights
weighted
with dead leaves
and hidden wounds
vanish in the wind
while autumn disappears
leaving only the springtime
frozen in forgotten winters
leaving dreams of a second childhood
