Thoughtless Wind
Ruthless is the wind
It trifles without care
That hearts have grown so fond
Of the maple's scarlet flair~
For with the morning's dew
No leaf was to be spared
Each scarlet leaf has spun away
Not left to bask beneath the sun
No color left to stifle breaths
In autumn's brilliant dawn~
