Lux's Indulgences - 12. Thyme
A flash in the dark
Lightning, piercing the night
Unexpectedly out of season
Warmth gives way to grey
Chills and snow
An unusual respite no longer
They say it’s unusual
The opposite of the way
Things should be
But as we all know
By now, things are
Never what they seem
Time slips by
The body grows old
And even the world falls apart
The sprig of thyme
Which flourished night and day
Must dry and wilt away
But oils and smells essential
Are left behind
Powerful memories
Waiting to be cooked
Into something to be
Consumed
Something to nourish
And cherish
And renew
