Dismissed

The weight of your memory

Sails 'round about me

First here

Then there

Among the trees

Turning ever so softly

In the winds of dispair.

 

For what cause

Or tangled web

Of tinted times gone by

Whisper these branches?

 

The crisp

Ever familiar

Voice of fall

Comforts me and I call...

Out to you

In the near silent

Din of rustling twigs,

Of leaves.

Provoked:

But in a sense

Dismissed.
