THE WIND blew and touched the leaves With his gentle seductive kiss He promised a paradise abroad More beautiful than this. How irresistible was his caress How captivating his charm Soon leaves yearned to travel far In their new lover’s arms. In dreams like a newlywed bride The leaves resolved to start anew And readied soon to ride the wind To old friends bidding adieu. Quickened now the wind’s speed Once leaves unhooked from tree The romance showered ebullience As leaves floated carefree. But suddenly the wind swayed Away from the promised land Drifting close to a naïve daisy Telling tales from a wonderland. The leaves fell down and laid forlorn Soiled, dusted, thrown away Soon joined them a somber daisy As the wind rocked the hay.

THE WIND blew and touched the leaves
THE WIND blew and touched the leaves With his gentle seductive kiss He promised a paradise abroad More beautiful than this. How irresistible was his caress How captivating his charm Soon leaves yearned to travel far In their new lover’s arms. In dreams like a newlywed bride The leaves resolved to start anew And readied soon to ride the wind To old friends bidding adieu. Quickened now the wind’s speed Once leaves unhooked from tree The romance showered ebullience As leaves floated carefree. But suddenly the wind swayed Away from the promised land Drifting close to a naïve daisy Telling tales from a wonderland. The leaves fell down and laid forlorn Soiled, dusted, thrown away Soon joined them a somber daisy As the wind rocked the hay.
