Joseph May Poet Rhyme

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

Brandy Nicole May 3, 2021 at 3:18 PM "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
