Sometting Was Taken From The Sky

something was taken from the sky
was it the color of rose
the faint lemon cloud

the birds dipping silver
through the afternoon

rain

dripping on foreign stones.
suddenly the pavement is gold
then a shadow crosses the room

composed of trees
and my composition is finished
chimes the music, the breeze of hours

but I know better.
