OCTOBER GARDEN

The garden seems forsaken, now

Transformed by chill October's vow

Of season's passing. Dark clouds fly

Where tangled vestiges belie

Late blooms, the Gardener's head is bowed.

In wondrous charity unshown

Rejoins companion prior blessed

With welcome in the Gardener's home.

 

So sleep October garden, where
