Blue wind upon a distant windowpane,
I hear you whistle folk songs to the rain
In tune with leaves that have no place to go.
Last light becomes the only home they know.
My friend, I feel your hand upon my skin.
The essence of the mood is paper thin.
Against the awesome turning of the earth,
Warmth has about a cup of coffee's worth.

A beautiful poem Sandra, but for me this line resonates: 'The essence of the mood is paper thin' You capture so much in so few words. A poem to warm the heart. Justine

the dying light, the enroaching chill.... love the last line especially....
Unearthly charm in your precious writes gives a feel of worthiness to your excellent quill. God's blessings on you ever. arya.
You are a great metaphyscal poet, can compare with Donne The last and the last and the last lightpost, Still don't know where is the Ghost! Your imagery here is comparable to that of Eliot.

Great poem, Sandra. Nothing is to compare to a cup of coffee with a good friend... Good idea for this poem. Warm wishes.
