The Herons |
And now when the earth has stooped to gather |
In the careful hands of autumn |
All that summer has abandoned |
A time of left behind… |
Comes a wind that blows unceasing |
Erodes away the dunes |
On grey moon hungry beaches |
Where the winter crows parading |
Cry out in black formation |
Their scorn upon the world |
Everturning… |
And there where the fruit no longer ripens |
On the vines the years have withered |
Has the earth so soon forgotten |
That not so long ago |
How the wind was soft and perfumed |
How the herons turned and circled |
With their wings aflame with sunset… |
Now the winter crows parading |
Cry out in black formation |
Their scorn upon the world |
Everchanging… |
