Summer’s coming to an end
The heat is subsiding
The cooler nights I befriend
When the sun’s in hiding
How I welcome the brisker winds
And the charms of October
When autumn truly begins
And the holidays are closer
“I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape—the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn’t show.” – Andrew Wyeth
(more…)red & gold leaves, crisp air tell me
autumn is here – they crunch under my feet
smoky smell of a firepit wafts through
the neighborhood, pumpkins on porches,
hot coffee in cold hands – walking in
golden sunlight, slight shiver when
the north wind blows, a football is thrown
high in the air – jump! snatch it!
snatch onto autumn days
they don’t last long

be careful, son
don’t delve into
too much mystery
it’ll consume you
pray to yellow moons
inky-black skies
howling wolves
green wilderness
cycles of rebirth
summer turns to autumn
the land sustains us
be careful, son
& brave
