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

Always a pleasure to write with you my friend. Your second half gave this poem the color and spirit that it needed. I knew you would come thru with awesome verses! And you did that and then some. Next collab poem is on the way later tonight or tomorrow. This time I want 16 opening verses to my presented 16 ending verses. Subject is Romance.
