Heather Days

From the rough

Of the grass

Long and blowing

In the late summer wind

The fall

Is upon us

With its linear sunlight

And orange hues

Touching the changes

And nothing you can do

So the early fall

Sets like the Heather days

As the summer fades

Away

When It Rains

When it rains

Tell me the season

When it rains

Tell me the reason

For the quiet

In between

That happen

Between you and me

But rain on me

The water from the sky

So that I may know I am alive

And nourish the ground

Where others lie

Who have gone before

In the night
