Poise

#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo Day 8

The poise with which
We must live life
Oft eclipsed by its strife
Is to embrace all
The Autumnal shades
As the wisest of us
Have eventually learned
It can’t always be Spring

Poetry inspired by the book cover for Walter Crane. A Floral Fantasy in an Old English Garden. London: Harper, 1899
