Rhyme Scheme: ABC DEF DGH IJK LMN O

Echo of the clocktower footstepA
in the alleyway sweepB
of the wind sifting the leavesC
-
Jeweller of the spiderweb connoisseurD
of autumn s opulence blade of lightningE
harvesting the skyF
-
Keeper of the small gate choreographerD
of entrances and exits midnightG
whisper travelling the wiresH
-
Seducer healer deity or thiefI
I will see you soon enoughJ
in the shadow of the rainfallK
-
in the brief violet darkening a sunsetL
but until then I pray watch over himM
as a mountain guards its covert oreN
-
and the harsh falcon its flightless youngO
