Absence
This only moment
Moving, forward nudged
By gentle breeze,
Leaving leaves
So green to spin about;
Give our eyes to trees,
Swinging shallow.
Each a gate
Opening to the sky.
We dance into a fate
No earthly coin could buy.
Like all of this and more,
The earth, the sky, the rain;
We only know an absence
By the shadow of its pain.
