Duty Calls

Dark gray clouds amassed hidding red sunrise
East gentle breeze bringing a storm at last
Trees dance and sway with delighted surprise
As the wind swishes swirls twirls right on past

He tickles their fancy leaves quite fast
Fickle wind blowing whispy swirling clouds
That fly beneath white shell clouds that last
Back and forth blocking sun's white glow like shroud

Duty calls me forth to handle few tasks
While the wind will tousle my shirt and hair
Out in garden gathering but not bask
In sun, for clouds cover that sun's flare

Life of duty fulfilled, will there be folly?
None knows_duty, fun, folly, finale', melancoly_____

Interesting ending to the fine write my friend! I really enjoyed the cleverness about your entire poem! The swirling of the wind was entrancing Sara! I fancy the incredible wind anyway so this write sure was lovely! Great Work!!
