He was love’s fool A drop of rain In a downpour of seasonal shame A farthing in the fountain Spent on wishes Glistening in the fenlands Of unreplenished riches
A plea, among the rustling In a vast forest of variegated leaves Sorrow among garrulous winds gusting A path through His wooded pathos Blazed with love and lusting
Then a tear finds wing On a falling leaf Snapped from the limbs by currents of heat rockabye'd into halcyon so misery and his companion Forge a new coin
Thrown and flipping along an arc A pinwheel casting solar sparks Purling hope in a tumbling fall promises anything can happen To anyone Anytime at all
