To A Brand New Day

Time to ponder on woman kind
like garden's fresh raw beauty,
blooming both inside and out.
When wisdom of years shall
feel the earth and rain quench
thirst.
Here and there in thought, away
with the fairies...those invisible
little helpers reflecting on charm
of beguiling young blessings.
Reflect and embrace youth with
all its desires, slip beneath folds
of petaled flowers, welcome wet
kisses of the honey bee; indulge
in fancies as soft buzz surrounds
garden magic while seasons pass
by.
Then when wild excitement has
shuffled on to younger followers,
this withered crone will catch
many autumn leaves as they fall,
know she'll ingratiate herself with
stars and moon to light the way;
giving back...for we will all return
home, being stardust to a brand
new day.

I cannot imagine your garden
I cannot imagine your garden, even in Winter, being like a "withered old crone"! Maybe a kind old lady who is always giving out treats to visiting birds and animals and telling her plants to be brave as spring will catch them in sunshine again :0) I did like the comparison of a woman to a garden very much, it is a BRILLIANT idea

The fresh raw beauty can be
The fresh raw beauty can be an eye-watering burden, far more relaxing to fade into the seasons, especially with stars and moon to light the way. Magical poem Jenny.

"...for we will all return
"...for we will all return
home, being stardust to a brand
new day." Philosophical and adriotly poetic, of course. Very nicely done, Jenny. Paul :)

Hi Jenny
This is very beautiful and cleverly done.

Your structure is great
Your structure is great, sometimes end a stanza with just a word or so, hanging. A very interesting way of stressing an idea and otherwise could be seen as weakness but here it is very efficient, very clever.
Keep well Jenny! Tom Brown
