Wind Fall

Wind fall

 

It’s the time of the last songs

And she is so shy

Hiding behind the winter

Litter falling from the sky

 

When trees in laughter

 stretched with ambition

to reach the sunset glory

and gave us as a gift

blessings and falling leaves

 

still your raging heart

 from residual  summer

and listen just a while

there’s a troupe of winds and laughter

 dancing in her scarlet hair

cautious illusive rare

singing playful songs

they whisper in your ear

they shake off the leaves

endowed with sunset, love’s colour

as if the trees gave a warm hug

in this cold hour

 

Look where the wise owl stands

Her feathers with the trees

seem to add to the Autumn

the wisdom of falling leaves

affords the owl her stay

when all the birds flew away

a quiet place to think

is what she has

and when spring awakens

she seems wiser still

 

kneeling in the litter

the smell of fresh ground

gets between your fingers

now that they’ve shed their leaves

the trees don’t have to whither

hither and tither

the winds are still about

just close your eyes

and be careful not to shout

can you hear the music

somewhere in the distance

a woodland flute sings low

maybe somewhere out in neverland

dryads sing and chant

to satyrs and their music

and maybe that’s why

the autumn wind must dance

If your teacher doesn't love it, they are the fool. This is lovely, it dances on the page. I am envisioning the wind as a lovely woman, her heart free dancing on your zephyr of words.

[Deron Alexis]

well that's probably why she would like it :) thanks Frieda
