Zephyr's Kiss

Golden soft was the light that swiftly flew, As whistling rain pelted majestic oaks And the soaked birds began to cry for you As Nature silently wrapped up its cloaks Thirsty for coming dawn, so bold and new. Silver Maples fluttered in the wind, Where the fast sleeping rabbits hid away All beautiful, we wish to never end With brightened colors, every joyful day As Nature's beauty flowed out to transcend. Blazing red the delicate maple stands Gently kissed by Zephyr's uplifting breeze As frost comes touching each leaf with cold hands During night's darkest hour leaves damp to freeze A deep pain felt by one who understands Ginko's golden hair full of color fair Tossed about by the nor'easter force Weeps to sympathize with Maple's affair Soon ribbons snatched, hair detached a worse course Winter blows with ice and cold incomparable Robert Lindley & Sara Kendrick
