Notes About The Poem

A Wind That Sings Renewal

too gentle a wind 
to move 
majestic pine 
by chance; 
bearing sleeves 
of evergreen 
that cannot 
delicate dance.
Instead it spins 
the leaves 
of aspen trees; 
in pirouettes ,
like tickled 
ivory keys 
plays for me 
familiar songs 
of courtship 
and romance.			
early morning 
by the water’s calm,
where 
mountains stand 
to watch, 
as they 
have always done
and a lone pine 
stands 
as sentinel 
to the sky 
waking dark 
to darken blue.
as brightest star 
gives one last kiss 
to what is just 
a wisp of moon,
to say goodbye 
and leave 
the gift of day
and just as small 
as that, 
I am renewed.
