Limbs

I hate trees without leaves
they shade our naked knots
way past the gold in rings
for thin limbs shutter in cold
mostly skipped by untouched
unprotected stark and bare
now,
numb, still and silent
nothing to catch the kissing
wind where we once danced
I say, “fly, sing only to me”

Oh, how I miss leaf music

“all romantics meet the same fate”…Joni Mitchell

from a land where there is never a winter

It is such a soothing sound. Nicely done.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

"nothing to catch the kissing
wind where we once danced"
Beautifully rendered ... lovely

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
