Found

they say
that Maria
Callas lost her
voice but one day

while out walking
i heard tonal
leaves of a
tree sing

ing with
a trill from
the wind and
then keeping beat 

of a woodpecker
kept her in
and on
time

as i
admired
the sound of
a one of a kind

voice knowing that
the tree leaves
would leave
or be taken

by the
next or 
very next
breeze to

follow as 
they dried so
the sound would
in time take time to

also change
to be arranged
with a score never
more to be the same

but life is about
not lasting but
living and i
heard in

her voice the
punctuation of
a poet showing
her vocal chords

and words
while acting
the true part of
what it means to 

be a
Diva
