Songs Change
Virginia Salter

darkness has engulfed day’s passing
a chill’s overtaken its high
the clock’s meted out as with marching
the minutes and hours gone by

loneliness cries in the wilderness
a song as somber as night
the dove clings to the willow
too wise to fly without light

a wailing is borne through the treetops
above she who sits all alone
as a mournful ol’ owl hoots its calling
and the reaper’s heart becomes stone

crickets no longer sing blessings
to ears of wanderers there
for seasons change and songs as well
when autumn comes in on the air
