Marigold Farewell
The season’s donned bright colors bold
As autumn winds move leaves to tremble
Most stunning burst in all its shades of splendor
November smiles amid vast treasure to behold
Late scented afternoon a gentle breeze cajoled
On its way out the distant sun bids fond farewell
Bestowing in sweet array its blessed rays of hope
Flaunting how nature’s kindness will never be undersold
A final curtain falls when all’s been told
Descends a hush a silence heavy with remorse
A vanished summer that’s been cut short
The golden breeze has suddenly grown cold
When with closed eyes in autumn's eves of gold
A distance grows beneath a setting evening sun
Farewell my love to thee I bid with heart so humble
My impassioned ode to the lovely last surviving marigold
