The Calm Before the Storm

Hollow
I witnessed a grim whisper,
Strangled in a gust of wind,
Sucking life for one last breath,
Just to warn wilted leaves,
They dangled by a thread
of seasons' sorrow. Rasps
as from the calf; Half hoarse
From the day-long bellows, Unanswered
and lonely for that gentle face.
At last accepted loss for a safe place to nap
But happened upon a wasp nest,
Raw fate…..soft in the daisies.
Greys rank in groves, dampen moans
Nips in the waft of eroded omens
Strict grooves slip through
slow groans in the trees,
From an owl's home,
hollow in a branch,
Neglection echos, quiver in stone.
Carries away another coat of protection,
Exposure to the core,
Winter wields its frigid weapons
I witnessed grim whispers.….
Suggestion of war
Echoing Tree Moan
