A Wakening *, Rondeau Options

A Wakening

Awakening in foggy night
with grey, before the dawn brings light,
which chills one's soul and veils my eyes;
I hear their tears as each leaf cries
and falls to earth as though contrite.

Although each year it is the plight
of those who try to reach the skies
as nature rules and each one dies
awakening

the cycle as the chill winds bite
and bid each red and golden kite
a sad goodbye. Winter applies
an icy shroud of white disguise
‘til seeds of Spring begin their rite,
a wakening.


S1/L3 "ones" has been changed to a possessive "one's"
S2/L3 (but) has been changed to (as)

Thanks Daniel!
