Bramble Berry
Crabapple jelly
Michaelmas daisies
Just for show.
Radiant roses revived
Through storms survived
Whilst rosehips scattered
On the ground below.
A sliver of sun flitters through the clouds.

This has a very Zen feel to it, the closing line in particular throws that kind of frame around it for me.
