Have you heard the Lonesome Locust?
He is the last locust of the season still singing.
Stop. Look up at the tree
Do you hear that tune?
The last sounds of the season.
Lucky to still be alive, least that’s what one might think.
He has lost his peers and still plays his tymbal.
Still searching for another but none is there.
Slowly the tune ends and the sounds of silence returns.
The lonesome locust has played possibly his last tune
and at least one lonesome human was there to hear it.
