A Murmur In the Wind

There is a murmur among the leaves As they rustle in the wind They know the utter of that distant drum will soon have their foliage thinned Then they'll take flight to season's strum So deep the sigh of the summer breeze As autumn begins to whisper to the leaves Soon summer will gasp, and breathe goodbye As autumn with its brushstroke weaves A chartreuse and crimson hue 4-28-2021 Writing Prompt - Breathe - Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France

Quite fresh and airy, like a breath of the faery's It conjures consumate scenes that Condescend Foliage earthward bound, of seasons bond Down; twig and frond, the blast of Creations Intention insfusing all earth's dimensions .'

"Autumn begins to whisper to the leaves, soon summer will gasp" Such a tender thought. Soon, summer will arrive and then it will be Autumn. Time flies so quickly it seems. Seasons change and then rearrange. This is beautiful in so many amazing ways. :) Hugs, Brandy
