a Hint of Sparrows

A hint of sparrows amid browning leaves
Faint shadows the conductor’s baton
A-dance beneath the now visible nests
A cold urgency whistles through the trees
Beauty will adapt in fashioned frolic
Dab colors in the corners of our minds
Memories more brilliant than their moment
Seen through time’s more melancholy eyes
Hands will touch life’s softly falling petals
Holding to the dreams they still possess
Listening as gentle breezes whisper 
A hint of sparrows amid browning leaves
