The Rose Fields (Short Poem)

Strolling the rose fields,
soft fragrance crystallised in memory
of a speckled sea of rich colours, pausing —
touching in balmy stillness.

Old gold is falling
Enriching the sacred earth
Awaiting rebirth

Worlds served on a dish
Waterside conversations
Colours cheek by jowl
