Wind

The wind has arrived

I can hear it through the tree

They warned us about yesterday

But it is only arriving now

Waves of wind

Then silence

Before another wave of wind

Once daylight begins to glimmer

I may find a fresh blanket

Of leaves on the ground

--Or maybe not

It's the end of October

And our tree is still green

By the time the leaves are yellow

It may require simply a gentle breeze

To bring them dancing

Toward the earth
