Flakes

(27th Feb 2007)

The season changes
Clouds cover parts of
The sky. I lose peace.

Moisture in the wind
Falling leaves; dry and
Brittle. Wait for rain.

Some bright green leaves and,
some branches, leafless,
Flowers in some; pink,

Yellow, purple. Seeds
Float in transparent
Flakes,. Rocks melt, trees bend,

All that stood alone
Now clings desperately
To the universe.
