She stays concealed in autumn
soft melancholy tones
wafting through barren boughs
swaying the breeze
in time to her loneliness
notes gently calling to a love
whose heart waits for her in winter

I love the word barren and when I saw it used here I got excited
Just fabulous hun! Truly, this holds so much within
Congrats on the HM

Sigh.. melancholy, aching for love and yet written so gracefully and beautifully.

We do often think so much alike, yet you wrote yours with much more grace in words and metaphor...so beautiful in flow and imagery...
best to you,
