Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Summer

I haven't seen the ashes all summer
Witnessed the flowers collapse into dust,
The violator rose's lavender petals
Dancing the breeze 
Through my bedroom window

I haven't felt the autumn rain
Nor caught a leaf or planted grain,
The garden shed's closed for the winter,
And the music band understand 
Six months shall wait till there next date

Spring shall break and summer fall
The crops shall fail reduced for sale
A tired sun upon the land tries to lend a helping hand
Raped for prosperity to profit the Deity 
The tears of our land can’t be felt by man's hand    
I haven't seen the ashes all summer!!
