Staring back at me
Leaves in the wind
Catching the breeze

Frozen: a moment in time
Never wanting to forget
The energy spent
An ancient lament

Give me ink and quill
So I could make it happen
The reeds whisper in my ear
The blossom flowers flicker past my eyelids

I could click my fingers
Break the spell
But not today, they say
Not today
