A Leaf Entered Today

A Leaf Entered Today

A leaf landing upon a new plaid shirt,
Caught-up in the hysteria gusting,
Such July wind fashioned a warm convert,
For sleeves rolled-down, temperature adjusting,
This unseasonal code makes-do to trend,
Black and white weave with harmonious blend.

Does a mirror-image please with justice?
When a change in the air is imminent,
Solace found beneath Ash so augustus,
Where pianist leaflets play eminent,
And peace walks the mind dreaming diurnal,
That leaf of ours marking this day's journal!

Rhyme with a fragrance for posterity,
So it may be worn again with sang-froid,
This breeze reminds of Nature's parity,
And rediscovery of who we are,
To hope this life is thus worthwhile,
Hence raised Zephyr proves true upon this isle.
