we are the names and the facesof the spirits that roam the night.we are the leaves that fellwith autumnal passion…we crumbled back into the dirt,and returned to our mother.we are the oaks cutto build the house.we are the saws, the hammers,and the nails.we are the water,and we are the well.we are the cup and the…
