Escaping an Empty Room

A rabbit returned safely to lair
Flute like voices filled the air
Wings fluttered with rustling leaves
Warmth lost to a cooling breeze

Sky flicked in and out of sight
Coloring leaves created moments of night
Soft brushing of earth and water
Added the jazzing drummer’s meter

Walking called attention
To grass softly sweeping denim
Not just escaping an empty room
I am part of the season’s tune
