Scattered

by Alison McKenzie



Hovering between worlds,
Between cities,
Between realities,
The petals of two dozen roses
Meant to lead me home,
Scatter, now,
In the fierce winds of change.

Their fading scent
Haunt a darkening path
Through a dying garden.

But I will press forward.

I must find the gardener.

lest the gardener find you first, via his own strewn petals. lovely, this garden of words, ever in bloom.

Don't know how I missed this gem. I'm glad to see it and know it is POTD!
