So subtly you arrive
A hint of color
here and there
Your gentle autumn tide
The sun settles lower
for its afternoon nap
retiring early
rising slower
Storms gather
releasing torrents
of leaves and tears
creating a lather
of leaf piles
and years
Each fallen calendar page
twirling as leaf
to floor
adds to my age
One day
as ageless beauty
I will arrive
on eternal springtime’s
shore.

While writing this, sitting by the den window, we suddenly heard a very loud torrent of rain beat upon our awning. The first storm had arrived! My husband and son were in a snowfall, while hiking up in our local mountains, that day. That night we had our first frost. I enter this time of year with more gray than last year and with more hope for eternal spring!

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” – Albert Camus
Fall is looking more fabulous!
