I found it this afternoon,
sheltered by the apple tree,
a pink cushion of rose,
unexpected summer.
Now it is laid carefully
onto white linen,
clove fragrance seeping
into the warm kitchen.
I would not have it back,
that summer, but I am glad
of the fragrance sweetening
the first day of winter.

oh... your post is so calm... (and yet outside the tail of the storm rages)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful rose - all the more precious for flowering at this time of year. Unlike you I would have that summer back - I blossom in the warmth.
ReplyDeleteWith St Jude's threat and warning all over the place, this is simply amazing.
ReplyDeleteI still have Borage flowering, Wallflowers too - don't they know?
