don't shed a tear

 

 

don't shed a tear

as 

I pass by

clothed in rime and dew

rub your eyes

see the coming cold

and rejoice

don't shed a tear

 

 

everyday beauty

cold beauty

in the night garden

in the night garden

once more

padding the soft moss lawn

which floats in the dying winter light

purple-headed hellebore 

breaks ground

and sharp leaves

pierce the growing gloom

as a church watches over

the path leads home

foggy walk
