Of Diamonds and Dragonflies

Shafts of moonlight collecting dust
Settle on the grasses of
My garden of rust.
My paintings are fading
At the hands of time
And my diamond-set
Dragonflies are heavy with lyme.
It would be me to keep a garden
Frostbitten with unkempt
And try to re-create a world
Of my own vain attempt.

This is beautiful, I can tell this took some soul-searching.
