GROWING

growing peacefully
rain drops on the fern's shoulders
wetness of July
soil gets ready for more growth
before leaving with winter

NICE....got a little rain last night...was a nice cut in the heat...my version would be:

brown & brittle,
the tender rain
snapped the dry branches
off at the base

Dear Wayne: A very creative way with words, and the flow is perfect. Loves how this mystic's inner journey dreams of Persia. Does conjure many images; thank-you~!!!

Some very descriptive phrases here, but to lose the imagination of death - it doesn’t bear thinking about!
