THE GIGGLING OF THE LEAVES

 🦜🐾

All alone I sat,

On a chilly morning,

With the pin drop silence accompanying;

I stare out the window

Woolgathering.

Humming a nostalgic song

She crosses my classroom, TO

Listening

And FRO

Staring!

Not ashamed

I hum again

Continuing my unbeaten talent "Boketto" (Japanese word: for staring into the distance)

The empty chairs and the desks

The black board and the broken chalks

That cool breeze

Broke the silence

No, breached the silence

It caused Susurration of the leaves

It wasn't a fully evolved Psithurism

Because it didn't have that whooshing

Just the soft whispers of the leaves

And them moving

Appeared to me like the leaves were giggling

The branches in the wind

Appeared to me like ships at sea, yawing

I loved the whole kalopsia

I wait for the rustling

My ears longing for the humming of the leaves

Will they hum with me?

Or will it be the other way around?

The green turned partial yellow

With that soft glow

And the clouds covered the sun again

Partial yellow turned green again

It's like I lived a season in an hour

And it looks like anytime the sky's gonna pour!
