Delightful
as autumn days
draw near
gradually
as our earth mother
transitions
toned down
palette
that awakens us
all is just
in natures’ clock
subtle
diminishing beams
bringing forth
cooler nights
cracking our
window on the world
slightly less
as we yield
transforming canvas
seamlessly alters
becoming of warmth
at mid-day
a glowing radiance
an exuberance
we regale our fellow travelers
yearning
for this solitary moment
to be swept inward
on a zephyr.
