Autumn's tides of change

9/18/2019

Bird migrations, angled rays
            of sunshine, marking shorter days;
            rouging apples, dewy grass
            soon to frost like crystalled glass;

From bumblebees a busy hum
            ‘round aster and chrysanthemum;
            woodpile stacked, a heaping hill;
            windows closed against the chill;

Burrowed turtles, misting waters,
            rounded prows of pregnant daughters.
A Fall replete with tidal surge;
            a great retreat, a great emerge.
