Wind In The Trees

Wind in the trees
Young leaves flutter
Dancing in idle productivity
Softly whisper heaven’s hope
Birdsong, fledgling achievement
Fondled by sunshine and heady ether.

Wind in the trees
Old leaves clatter
A rumor of war; fury rising
Frantic in the shadows below
Earth riddled by new bunkers
Flight in the face of certainty.

Wind in the trees
Dead leaves scatter
Pushed madly like smoke
Before the cruel breath of Chaos
Naked branches, headless horseman
Millions of souls blown away.
