Soothsayer's Call Poet's Lament
a leaf dances and sways in skies
painted in shades yellows and golds
soft whispers of premonitions
the changing slant of morning light
an oak bears the passage of time
a leaf dances and sways in skies
gathers with others on the ground
shadows of a summer passage
afternoon stillness after rain
clouds shadow the change of weather
a leaf dances and sways in skies
as summer dreams its own ending
reflections of the time’s passage
mournful song as winds sweep the land
soothsayer’s call poet’s lament
a leaf dances and sways in skies
