I watch as a graceful shadow lingers
cast by the branches a gentle breeze shifts
softly swaying the veils oncoming
and the clouds that veneer with soft filters
then gathered with those of another mass
they lie down together cover the wall
a father appears, retrieves his daughter
she shouts her unwilling play time now lost
he assertively sweeps her up in arms
in the same movement he closes the door
the shadow grows taller touches the roof
and the warbling whistle of a bird
concludes the Act with a Note for each Scene
