When Tomorrow Dawns

Two gardens meet in the mist Both gardens sublime in beauty One called, the past And one called, the future And I . . . Climbed the lichen covered wall The ivy hidden wall That divided . . . I left the garden of the past behind All the lovely tangled vines And stepped into the garden of new growth It was time to lay the past to rest . . . So in the dawn of tomorrow I am reborn . . . ___________________ October 1, 2012 Poetry/Verse/When Tomorrow Dawns Copyright Protected, ID 10-414-16-01 All Rights Reserved, 2012, Constance La France Submitted to the Standard contest, No. 198 sponsor, Brian Strand, Judged 8/20/2012 First Place ___________________ Featured poem week of February 19, 2017 ____________________ Written for the Standard contest, How Time Flies sponsor, Brenda Chiri, Judged 10/2016 Second Place
