As the Flute Plays

As the flute plays
the trees dance—
their old leaves
bid goodbye
and rest on the ground

Dark clouds
drift away like birds
revealing blue sky

A lonely magpie
on a rooftop listens—
enchanted by the tune

Sunlight
peeks through
the clearing
warming my skin

I sit by the window
book in my hand
as the wind continues
playing the flute
