Music-less Valentine

If I imagine the whole
Grand orchestra of the gods
Struggling to construct my soul
 
Under the baton of a branch
Or many branches swaying
Following the paths of the clouds
 
If I listen closely and hunch
In the underbrush of seeing
So tentative is their touch
 
I can feel how leaves retract
And the soul pulls back
From being in their hands
 
However beautiful their making
Free to be alone
In winter’s shaping
