In a rattle of leaves
you can sense excitement
Mother Nature conceives
a knowing caress sent

the unforgotten breeze

Alluring in colours
that of passion and sin
she removes all of hers
accepting with bare skin

The winter adorns her
with a thick white cover
like insulated fur
such, the seasonal lover

the leaves, we remember

Now, resting for a bit
before sharing once more
silently beneath it
winter's blanketing floor

In a rattle of leaves
you can sense excitement
Mother Nature conceives
as unturned earth is spent

that unforgotten breeze

One's outlook can be another's expression.

Will the wind ever remember
the names it has blown in the past
with its crutch, its old age, and its
wisdom it whispers no this won't be the last
