Like Silent Musical Notes

Across sky clouds slide;
Loud crows scream into the wind;
Patch of sun breaks through.

Two birds on a wire
Like silent musical notes
Suspended in air.












When the sun breaks through
The road is filled with shadows;
Then they disappear.

Dead leaves in pine tree
Hang like Christmas ornaments
Caught on their way down.











Yellow, green and brown:
A palette of early fall
Scattered on the ground.

Brown-tipped yellow fern
Still waves in the Autumn breeze.
Leaves fall all around.

A loud rustling sound;
Something scurries in the bush
Unseen and fearful.

Sun and clouds play tag,
But the wind is always "it"
Making its own rules.
