“A Garden Epitaph by Stewart Stafford From a verdant birth, Two roses entwined together, A union withered from the earth, Root quest in envenomed weather. Green fingers pruned with ill will, Each barb taken to wounded hearts, Cut natures freed of earthly swill, Two crimson blooms, beyond scars. Master gardener, just hear me, If you see devotion, leave it be, In silent witness, wonders see, Lest you hasten obsequies. © Stewart Stafford, 2023. All rights reserved.” — Stewart Stafford
A Garden Epitaph by Stewart Stafford
From a verdant birth,
Two roses entwined together,
A union withered from the earth,
Root quest in envenomed weather.
Green fingers pruned with ill will,
Each barb taken to wounded hearts,
Cut natures freed of earthly swill,
Two crimson blooms, beyond scars.
Master gardener, just hear me,
If you see devotion, leave it be,
In silent witness, wonders see,
Lest you hasten obsequies.
