Life Goes On
Despite the heat and obtrusive dryness
a morning glory or two survives.
Wrapped around the rose bush stem
it climbs and blooms in soft gentle pink.
Over to the side nearby clinging to the stalk of a bloomed out lily
another appears a powdery blue.
Hidden in the yellowing evergreens one more appears
alone and solitary draped in passionate purples.
These few have managed to escape the untamed jaws
of the ravenous groundhop interloper.
Not a breeze stirs the trees
as the sun burns and glows.
Summer lingers in spite of the calendar
as September calls for fall to come,.
Life goes on, even in the autumn years
and new wonders lie just around the corner.
