phlox blossoms
and watermelon
open to whisper
their presence
with evocative
cool sweetness
scents
so like the
subtle scent
that whispers
through woods
and fields
foretelling
Fall’s first snow
the mind begins
to wonder
but the senses
already know
the mind begins
to wonder
will we let
our greed
consume us
as we breathe
polluted air
when does need
transform to greed
when is
so much more
enough
what fragrance
will we gift
our future Earth
to wear
phlox blossoms
and watermelon
faintly whisper
when is
so much more
Enough
