Description
Was a time
When one could lose the self
In the embrace Of the woods

When the leaves fell
Short was the grieving
With the reasonable expectation
That they would return

But the leaves
Exhausted from frustration
Stayed aloof

Buried
In the compost
Built by neglect and selfishness

Where were the noble of heart?
Why has tenderness fled?
When will the leaves return
That we may once again lose ourselves
In a glory that surpasses our own self assessment?

Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis (Ralph Vaughn Williams)
