June’s Garden

The roses in the garden are especially beautiful and multitudinous this summer

They stand proud and open in their unapologetic, stunning way

As if they are ignorant or unaware of the world crumbling around them

Or perhaps they’re just tenacious and brave

Perhaps we are those roses

June's Garden

Hello, Tim,

Beautiful.  I hope we are brave, and not ignorant or unaware.  Much to think about within your brief poem.

Hope you're well!

Thank you,

L
