Winter

The tree stands bare.
The wills of a thousand leaves
Fasten none; all dance
At the whims of breezes.

Unfettered foliage
Flutters windward,
Eddies in devil-spins,
Then settles earthward.

The myrtle shades none,
Nor the laurel.
Vanes spinning
Become compasses.

Daughters of memory,
Grace the air with a tremor:
Summon these shambles
Into a forgotten shape.

Ok, I'll try this again.

Very nice piece, Sir Isaac. The ante has been upped, Kindlings!

Where did the "forgotten shapes" come from - I like the imageless image.
