I Wonder What the Roses Dream

The garden, it is fast asleep,
Or so it would appear—
I wonder what the Roses dream,
Of dewdrops cool, and clear?

So peacefully they are folded
For their midnight reverie—
Still as a day without a breeze,
Or a waveless azure sea.

And I watched them from a distance
Being curious to know—
What dreams entice the Daffodil
As they slumber sweetly so?

A truly lovely write, Kenneth. ~ Gershon Login to Reply Kenneth R. Merrill Date: 9/9/2019 9:54:00 PM Thank you, Gershon!
