Behind the Vines
by Asena Lourenco
.
Midnight green leaves intertwining over head,
The evening rain’s sweet perfume on the flower beds,
The familiarity of the sturdy cobbled road,
The return of the moon as to the sun it owed
A visit once again, to give the rays a rest,
Before dawn itself brings a new challenging test,
As the vines grow hungry for more and more light,
and desperation quickly becomes a deadly fight,
As many greens slowly fade to lifeless browns,
And the beams on faces suddenly flip to frowns,
But behind the vines, a secret has yet to be shared,
As the Sun has begun to fail in its ability, to heal and repair.
