"For Bard"

listen closely Bard
the wind is whistling
a soft tune
for the Autumn leaves
as they sway back and forth
on their way to the woods floor
looking like ceramic tile
carefully placed by artisans
to please the eye
and warm the heart
look closely Bard
see the sunrise and sunset
send their rays
like paths through the trees
finding their way
to the woods floor
watch closely Bard
as the rain clouds and
the lightening and thunder
perform their play
with the sky as a stage
smell the sweet rain
watch the new growth
its dark on the cabin porch
surrounded by the trees
we listened and watched
and saw this story of
what the woods had to say
perhaps Bard the story
will find you today
