Asphodels Poem by Andy Brookes

Asphodels



Asphodels nod white heads like a sages against emerald green
the wind ripples its magic whispering in the trees.

so where are we you ask, is this is a secret garden?

foxgloves buzz with bees and the rain smells sweet on the earth
the sunsets and we sit.

sometimes, I think, there is harmony between us;
I savour these moments of truce before we declare war again,
letting normal service resume.
