Color and Song

leaves of trees near a park bandstand
listen to poetry and music all summer long
paints a masterpiece on frost’s demand

Birch and Maple bare against faded land
orange and red in a gusty wind-song 
leaves of trees near a park bandstand

they waited for their return to the land
and transform into soil danced on
paints a masterpiece on frost’s demand

snow covers leaves with pastels of wonderland
wood quietly waits for summers bloom
leaves of trees near a park bandstand

a painter with a steady hand
hung a painting in his front room
paints a masterpiece on frost’s demand

cycles of weather ripple to the land
people in the park sing and play until
leaves of trees near a park bandstand
paints a masterpiece on frost’s demand
