Tonight
the wind came
sweeping
down from
the
stars to stir
the
leaves,
that
whispered at first,
mildly
surprised,
then
all in a rush,
flung
themselves
together,
dancing wildly,
bowing
first one way,
then
the other,
on
their bendy branches.
Wind can’t
stay,
wanderer
that it is.
The
leaves sighed
and
were still.
like a kid whose playmate has gone home in that last sigh...smiles...but i liked watching them for a moment...
ReplyDeleteOh! I know just what the leaves sounded like and looked like, all dancing together!
ReplyDeletePauline:

I saw the moon on Sunday night...did you? It was beautiful and made it seem like daylight, it was so bright! Next day at work someone mentioned it had been the largest full moon in a long time.
ReplyDeleteI love your "flung themselves together, dancing wildly!"
I love listening to the wind playing with the leaves. This is a beautiful and perfect description of it!
ReplyDeleteThe sound of the wind and the rustling of the leaves can be so beautiful.
