Autumn

Standing beneath these somber clouds
Off pondering life’s mysteries
Autumn has brought her touch…
Gelds-Yellows-Auburns-Oranges
  Seer my eyes with intense depths!
A slight breeze picks up
Earthly smells of her season.
Faint wood smoke follows on its heels –
  Calls me to my home
Earth gives way to my gentle prodding
All that is left to complete my day
Is to have you here
  Beside me
  Sharing in my wonders,
As though I am but a child again
Amazed at Autumn’s quiet entrance
  Upon this plane.

And as the yellow flower danced upon sweeping winds of distant times, my mind begins to flourish with thoughts of all knowing and pleasant surrender.
