Change

Shadows quivered at the sound,
leaves scurried from the persistant wind.
One flame flickered on dying in the cold,
it's purple enchantment clearing the clouds,
only to see the twinkling eyes of the stars.
Trees fought for land intertwining their branches,
breaking apart the path into one.
The purple flame extinguished,
cascading ink on my luck,
the luck I alone could only have created.
