Poem(When Autumn Came).

➡READ IT LOUDLY

Source

This is the way that autumn came to the trees:
it stripped them down to the skin,
left their ebony bodies naked.
It shook out their hearts, the yellow leaves,
scattered them over the ground.
Anyone could trample them out of shape
undisturbed by a single moan of protest.
Source

The birds that herald dreams
were excited from their song,
each voice torn out of its throat.
They dropped into the dust
even before the hunter strung his bow.
Source

Oh, God of May have mercy.
Bless these withered bodies
with the passion of your resurrection;
make their dead veins flow with blood again.
Source

Give some tree the gift of green again.
Let one bird sing.
