Be with wildflowers

Before they fade away

Beneath the façade

Of a frosty day

~

Crickets chirp

And bask in balmy heat

Joyously jumping

Carefree and upbeat

~

Colorful petals

Dried between pages

Makes a sweet potpourri

Worthy of sages

~

An eclectic fragrance

From a botanical sea

To warm frigid nights

‘til wildflowers, again grow free
