I Thought of You

• I thought of you today,
• as I heard the whisper of the wind
• in the rustling of autumn leaves,
• swirling, dancing and painting
• the earth in carpets of red and gold.
• 
  
• I thought of you today,
• as I saw the slow, moving V of geese
• noisily announcing their journey south,
• dragging winter behind them.
• 
  
• I thought of you today,
• as I felt the tears of gray skies,
• and the cold wind steal
• the last trace of Indian-summer breath.
• 
  
• I thought of you today;
• the promise of spring to come,
• and I smiled.
