White Roses

evening wind rising at dusk
    in a garden waiting for moonlight
petunias, roses like white brides
    light the garden walk
far off thunder from the Ochocos
    calling to the sultry night

    Even though we don't look forward to thunderstorms because they frighten our dog, I love the sound of "far off thunder...calling to the sultry night"! Gorgeous, Lorna.
