Winter Gardens

A photo of a snowy landscape evocative of the poem Winter Gardens

Winter gardens of lost memories,
Where frost clung to the withered roses,
Silent whispers through the twisted trees,
In the hush where the cold wind blew.

Echoes of reveries, now long gone,
Stirred the barren, shadowed soil,
Time’s breath on the frost, a muted melody,
In the quiet where the past was never to be found.

Underneath the snow, the secrets lay,
Frozen dreams in a spectral light,
The ghosts of moments that drifted and sighed,
In the garden’s mournful, endless night.

Winter gardens of lost hopes,
Where every snowflake was a wistful tear,
Remnants of bliss in the icy breeze,
Softly faded through the years.

Beneath the ice, the earth still wept,
As the sun dipped low in the sky,
Shadows lingered where the sorrow seeped,
And the past’s faint relics silently faded.

Each hidden path led to a mysterious tale,
In the stillness, secrets panted,
Time wove its web with a delicate veil,
Of forgotten dreams, it concealed beneath.

In the twilight’s chill, the spectres played,
Danced through the frost’s embrace,
Guardians of memories lost and invisible,
In the garden’s cold, silent space.

Winter gardens of lost memories,
Timeless realms where shadows blended,
Preserved fragments of their reveries,
Until the thaw brought them to an end.

Whispering groves of forgotten tales,
Where instants of time slowly blended,
In the still of the night, underneath ghastly trees,
Lost longings from the past died away.

Frozen branches cradled dreams unspoken,
In their grasp, a fragile repose,
Silence infused new life into dreams once broken,
Where every frost-bitten memory bloomed.

Amidst the snow’s cold, delicate lace,
Phantoms of old hopes softly trod,
In the garden’s frost-kissed, sacred space,
Lay the eternal quiet of what was said.

Winter gardens of lost memories,
Guardians of time’s elusive grace,
Held the past in its frozen seas,
Till the thaw unveiled their hidden place.
