Chrysanthemum chords sung russet as in quietude Bare shouldered whip-o-will hides among tall plumes now white Safe away Night settles slowly to quilt the hills in patch worked light That follows contours of her song o-will, o-will Beginning stars blink shyly along indigo edges of night’s dress As trumpet vine plays low slow harmony of Lullaby In resonance against the eye And I think O-will, o-will the lullaby is hymn Slow answered thrum of locus sung reverently to distant oak By fern tipped rustle of wind And with bowed heads, late blooming rose fingers beads With slight click along the string of stem For all the prayers within are but forgotten dreams Carried away by winds that comes now starved and thin From places north of summer’s plenty O-will, o-will and I am moved within to drift on smoldering remnants of cedar once ocher now but scent upon the thin air Reminding how warmth of hand on skin Trills along soft hair as counterpoint to the rhythm Of heartbeats counted as chorus to her song And the scent of lavender is found on sheets she warmed O-will~~ her lullaby is sung And I come always Undone |

It's about the rustle of wind that spoke to me here. It's awful pretty what you wrote, Cpat. |
