soft winds of spring
...then suddenly into the fall of life...
soft winds of spring
in solitude breathing in
the pondering soft breeze
of the fading autumn
that seems to be
embracing the melancholy
song of the coming winter moon
and the calm cold night winds
brushing the pine needles
this after sharing with us
the resplendent lush colors
imperial reds royal yellows
leaves of the season of dreams
whispering
longing
for the soft
fragrant
baby’s breath of
a nascent spring flowers
beautiful reds yellows
a new beginning
