Weathered Windows

Weathered Windows Savor the meadow as far as eyes grasped; Wildlife walk gingerly; Walked behind them, nodded. Purple and orange wildflowers Just didn't fit. Twenty one posts with mildew Surrounded the thrown out periwinkles; Left their fate to cover a virgin path. A path followed by newly dismissed seeds, pods; Shown with individuality. Brown, stiff stalks topped with feathers. Where did the passion fall away. With gusto and charms, looked high and blinked. Imagine so. Sharpened vision chased the clues; Brought them closer, fractured two or three. Saw a wood pile stacked Oh so crookedly yet seasoned for the coming cold snaps: Carried two by two, four by five bundles. Took only two to stack back away. Cellar doors, grey colored, worn away Weathered down to the granny apple color Which, by the way, wasn't so offensive at all. Known by those passed to another time; Not to be abandoned nor evicted. Gave faith with brilliant touches; Gven to those with arms held out. To envelop with the reached up hope To culminate what was a yesterday, then.
