Scattered Leaves

When shadows drift across the moon

And clouds conspire to block the sun

When stars appear but fade too soon

And all seems lost while nothing’s won

 

I think of you and see sense the light

I think of you and feel the glow

Especially in the dead of night

And in the swirls of icy snow

 

When life’s great song is out of tune

And things to do just don’t get done

When winter seems to last til June

And work becomes a treadmill run

 

I think of you and feel alive

I think of you and start to smile

Especially when I see us dive

Into a loose leaf litter pile

 

When rest is short while chores are long

And future visions seem at odds

When even progress still feels wrong

I think of you and thank the gods
