Golden Leaves (a villanelle)

I am a redwood forest
Strong and tall
Where is the rain?

Leaves of gold 
Drifting from above
I am a redwood forest

Fast wind blows
The leaves crinkling and dry
Where is the rain?

Tall and large, a home for a squirrel 
Safe from the storm
I am a redwood forest
Where is the rain?
