For sweet Nicola and her companions brave.
SACRED SEASONS
Autumn leaves forsake,
grand great oaks stand bare
Feeling frail flowers
In ‘dew time’ appear.
Hidden during advent,
fed by wintry sun
Watered by teardrops,
sheltered by our love.
Darkling glass of winter
soon gives way to spring
Burgeoning bulbs, snowdrops,
sun-washed saplings.
Sacred seeds though dormant
still remain the same
Permanently present,
they ALWAYS bloom again.
There is NO forgetting,
knots tethered tight!
The three English roses,
red, PINK and white.
