SUNFLOWER

Echoing the sun

Blazing but for a season

A giant flower

GARDEN REVERIE

I sit serenely in the sun

Hearing the conversations;

The ancient garden reveries

Of previous generations.

I hear them plan the garden beds

And complain about a frost;

I hear them brood about young seedlings,

Unaccountably lost.

And through their eyes I see the lawns

And hear them bemoan the labour

Which caused their's to be green and smooth,

The envy of many a neighbour.

And in my mind's eye flower beds

With endless colour spread

Under the broad and leafy trees

Which canopy overhead.

I see the gardeners bent and bowed

Struggling with the weeds......

*

Ah well, no more dreaming;

Where's that packet of seeds?
