Leafdance by Scott M Pratchner Quiescent leaf Ashen and dry from autumns past Fallen from trees long since lost An acceptance of winters chill blast Hidden from the warmth of the sun Vital wind With spring scented hope in her breath Catches the leaf in her gale Leaping to life, his dance matches hers In defiance of winter they twirl Stirring heart Brought pounding awake by her eyes Revealed the timeless summer within Sweet wind, embrace the leaf with your kiss And winter will never find us again 09/25/2001 Posted on 09/25/2001 Copyright © 2025 Scott M Pratchner Return to the Previous Page     pathetic.org FAQ Members Poetry Center Login Signup   pathetic.org Version 7.3.2 May 2004 Terms and Conditions of Use 0 member(s) and 2 visitor(s) online All works Copyright © 2025 their respective authors.
