It is the time to gather seed,
as winds blow brisk, from Northwest.
A garden dies beneath the weeds,
as now, my tears, replace my sweat.
I pray that it will be enough--
a sorrow's flood upon the soil,
to overflow from salt-rimmed cup,
and loose this clay, 'pon which, I toil.
An agony of Autumn's greet--
a gaze upon a gray cloud sky...
still, I welcome sweet reprieve,
while plucking flowers that have died.
  The ground is wet with my regret.
  Next spring, I'll plant the best one yet.


(repost, trying to push it along, I guess.. )

Serenity, I think you have managed to capture how most of us feel at this time of year.  Even as we pluck out this years spent flowers....in our minds we are already planning next years garden.  Lovely write.

  so you won't ever forget me~

Serenity:

Sometimes it is in the fallow garden that we can see most clearly what lies ahead.  And tears make great fertilizer for the soul!

You write your heart so well!
