Reposing wistfully aware
she sighs and accepts that
the end is near for her
glorious crimson beauty.
Not all her summer dreams
were fulfilled
admired in youth’s fleeting season.
Now red petals lean against the vase.
‘At least I was loved by the eyes
though no bees spread my delight.’
We gaze with love at one another
sharing our summer’s end.
