LEAF MUSIC

The wind is breathing through the trees

The leaves whisper leaf music only to me

And all the things I long to say

Are fading like green leaves farther away

I try to hold the moments in but they flow on

Past a silver bend in time, like music

I’ll go on

And listen to star music all winter long.

Then in the spring when blossoms fall

The petaling sky shines over us all

Ill greet again my long lost friends

Whispering leaf music till the end.

That’s not the end, at all at all

For sure in Heaven, my tree will call

Remembering when we both were young

and sang till tree and roots were one.
