The fragrant air of fruit and berries
fills our garden at harvest time.
Damsons ready for the picking,
apples ripening, some are falling
to the ground beneath the trees.
Buddleia sweetness luring bees
to settle on its laden branches.
Roses resting, pausing, blooming,
Flowering mint with marjoram.
Silver birches, ash and hazel
changing daily green to gold,
Scented leaves give hints of Autumn
when still warm earth and dew combine
to cool the sun with perfumed misting
as the garden breathes again.
