Suffocated By Thick Breeze

Grasping the forest so tightly
A thick mantle of layered breeze
Whips into rows and rows along aisles -
Coating the trees, suffocated
From a blanket of dry frothing .
The clouds pass by, unconcerned
As jays and ladybugs are silenced
While creatures of the meadow grow restless
And blossoms sigh listlessly -
Waiting for dewy October's rainfall.
