In the autumn of her life, As her final thoughts turned loose their hold, And fell slowly To the already-littered ground, She stood bare, Staring starkly at the somber sky. The wind still played among the branches, Making soft, indistinguishable spirit sounds, But she cast no shade, Made no rustle.

Then one, rare, lucid day, When the sun again shone brightly, If only for a moment, She tried to gather the brittle, dry things to herself, To rake them into a pile.

But a final wind gusted And blew them away.
