One Fall Day
a smoky horizon
a pink canvas
a bright candle
the sun lies in
a faded drum
in the distance
beating to.....
my hum
waves, currents, danger
a single rose
floats by
like a stranger
birds and autumn
last meeting
together
until the blossom
warm but crisp
fresh and satisfying
the air breathes
leaves me kissed
leaves shedding
bareness, nakedness
preparing for....
a ground bedding
orange, red, yellow
and brown
the Fall's tones
sounds and feels mellow
Quietness, calmness
autumn demands...
thinking, reflection
respect and wellness
