Autumn breaks through the barriers
of the late Summer Sun
Harvest has begun...
Leaves come to shroud the dissonance
that build upon the lands
readying themselves for Winter's long embrace
She comes...
He goes...
They move in separate ways.
yet, mysterious ones.
For what was known
is incomplete...
Autumn carries with it
a breath of exuberant air!
the dissonance so greatly needs.
come now lover
do not wait for the frost.
come now lover
when the leaves begin their dance
among smoky grey blue skies,
where the hawks fly
in unison,
bringing messages to those that
need them...
windows lay open for those last seasonal
breezes that blow,
bring change,
a new perspective
new opportunities
come now lover while the Sun streams through
the trees, and rises in the east hills of green, still,
yet becoming gold, red, orange.
come now lover
do not wait any longer
as the earth is readying herself
i ready myself for you...

Welcoming Autumn...
welcoming you...
