Leaves of Many Strands

Weekend Wordsmith #76 ~ Leaves

Leaves of Spring archway
Rainbow in green monochromes
Emerald City hall
~
Walkers of morning
Footprint leaves soft sandy tread
Waits for changing winds
~
Vaults of memory
Chamber of echoes and sighs
Like bright Autumn leaves
~
Like pale Autumn leaves
Musky leaves of old parchments
Having writ move on
~
