The Last Green of This Years Garden

The Last Green of this Years Garden
David J Walker

The last green of this year’s garden
Seems to linger into the evenings 
Of October 

Knowing November is near and 
Not matter what

Cannot be stopped 
On its way to Decembers frost 

I see icy days in the future 
I see the snowy pathways 

into a New Year
cheering as it 

	Vainly promises to
Be better

The last green of this year’s garden
May yield ripe fruit yet
