Abandoned - Autumn Winds ... September 2, 2014

the blowing wind
orange leaves migrate in the storm
abandoning trees

orange and red leaves
filling the sky like snow flakes
abandoned summer

blowin' in the wind
birds abandon summer homes
back to Africa

Yesterday the sun was bright and beautiful ... but we had a very strong wind that stripped many of our trees.  The roof of my house at moments seemed as thought  it would take off  and visit the land of  Oz.  We had to take down our glass wind-chimes or they would have accompanied the leaves in the form of tiny colored splinters.  The winds of autumn have returned.
