The garden is damp and shining with early morning dew
Bathed in sunlight
through petals transparent
throwing long shadows across the grass
Water droplets on purple ribbed cabbage
glisten
a different kind of beauty
Whilst the bright sunshine-yellow stems of chard
light up and cheer the soul
Autumn is a time for seeking out the unexpected
to catch the eye
as flowers fade and die
Shadows
thrown against a fence
or
The slow changing of leaves
beautiful
in their dying colours
as
Tomatoes cling to their withered branches
Change is upon us
Step by step autumn arrives
stealthily
snatching the last glories of summer
bite by bite
The last rose petals fall
at a mere touch
