At the feint betwixt shadow and bright,

rosehips withered in wind bite blight

shelter secrets of life

from scavengers sight,

 

until they fall, when all is still,

timemarked for right to rebirth.

The quiet miracles of the natural worls.  So much in a few words.

Lovely and secret. Is the change of tense from start to finish intentional? 

I like the brief unwordiness.

Phillip, your Tryptych and Huldu folk pieces were a delight to read, thanks for your kind thought xx

Bee, good spot, the tenses as presented mark past/experienced and present to future actions/events, all ever transient borders; who said  you could only use one :)  

best wishes
