Milkweed and Hydrangeas

[EEBehm]

Milkweed and Hydrangeas

The garden you planted is regrowing,
Just like you said it would---
But the desolate husks of last summer's foliage
Still stand stark;
Everlasting monuments 
Of what once was.

Yet time marches on,
And amongst untouched relics of a time long gone,
Milkweed and hydrangeas 
Once again revere---
Flourish
In the warm light of life.
