Light shines through the leaves;
Pine trees bow in the cool breeze;
The road is silent.
Gauzy clouds move quick
Racing across my window,
Whisking by tree tops.
Shadows on shadows;
Sunlight tries to break through leaves
And leaves its absence.
Billowing blue green--
Tall tree flashes its brilliance
Before it turns bare.
Squirrel on a phone wire
Is atypically exposed--
Just sits and ponders.
Magic lawn no more--
Grass has replaced the soft moss;
Whirl of lawn mower.
Solitary leaf
Hangs from the naked tree's limb.
The wind does its best.
Car rushes past me;
Hand in window is waving;
Unknown friend is gone.
