Wind Walking

Walking after rain
 the wind teases and taunts the branches tall
 tickling leftover clinging leaves until they fall;
rain-soaked grasses fold and bend
 pushed down by the inundating residue of rain escapes
 puddles forming at the bend of pathways newest landscapes;
rushes float in the breezes soft and fine
 feathery whisps release into the atmosphere fair
 frolicking squirrels and rabbits skip and dance in the air;
solemn gray December days slide in
 cooled and chilled in icy glazed froth gloss
 chastizing lingerers persistent teases of autumn summer loss;
now dark, deep purple shaded clouds
 slip in out of their winter nebulous shrouds
 declaring phantom silhouettes bold, brazen and proud.
