Winter Garden

[Joonie B]

Cold, lifeless stems
Stand out in harsh relief
Grim, twisted stalks
Pierce the gray, barren sky
And severed blossoms
Sink into the empty earth
Bloated fruit and moldering vegetables
Fill the sodden air
With the musty smell of death
Yet, I, with my shrunken, empty soul
Am drawn again and again to this place
to stare in fascination at the tiny. point
of green that dares to hint at redemption

Superb example of the human spirit and how we cling to the faintest tinge of [glow=red,2,300]hope![/glow]
