THE MENU FOR TODAY

From where I sit

The light shines through

My bedroom window,

The garden, the view.

Its autumn now

With roses in bloom

And leaves whirl by

To their pending doom.

Falling to the ground

Where life begins

While clouds gather

From the sudden wind.

And sipping coffee

Watching the change,

The garden faces

Another deluge of rain.

And so my plans 

To garden today

Are placed on hold

For a sunny day.
