Acanthus waiting for the rain

Before the window facing east      
shadows now  where once was sun      
 windows open,  breezes cool      
 the afternoon until evening      
heralds night and sleep.      
     
 Acanthus  dignifies the border      
 beside a  silver daisy bush      
 glorying in the heat.its leaves      
 reflecting the sun with yellow      
 blooms, Bergenia leaves flaccid      
having lost their gloss,rain expected      
 in a week as clouds say otherwise.      
     
About the Acanthus once again,      
the glory of the border,    
as once, on Corinthian columns,      
inspired Callimachus carve      
leaves to decorate the stone      
waiting for the rain.
