Crisp of the Fall Leaves

In the light of the season

Orange in it’s hues

To the nights

And the chills

Evening through

Take the breathe of light

Into the depth of the lungs of past summers

To take in the night

Crisp as all

So here are words homaged

To the days of fall

Unfolding Fall Leaves

To the ground they fall

With the winds of change

Season of fall

Upon the ground they

Bend away

Into the dirt

There they stay

To come back

In the feeding of the trees

So the renewal season

Is now upon us

Lies of Bitterness

Lies

The size

Of small or large

Can destroy the life

Of humanity

In a modern French Revolution

Lived online

Guilty until proven innocent

Cancelled

And gone

But weathered lies of bitterness

Still keep on

So the brain must react

With precision

To make the decision

To know what is right

And what is wrong

The Broken Hourglass

When truth arrives

In any form

Away from the norm of life

It can heal and it can destroy

Lies made in time

The broken hourglass

Glass all around

Has had enough lies

From town to town

With the truth in light of day

Even the most insular will say

I can now see

What I could not before

I will raise my eyes from the floor

And see the light of

A new day

Where the Leaves Go Silent

In a season of change

When nothing will remain the same

Under the sun of orange glow

Where the leaves fall and go

Into the night and into the land

From the woods and into the

Winds of time

From these winds blow to the place

Where the leaves go silent

And not even a trace

Of summer will last

October at the Fence Line

The maple from the seasons harvest

In the crisp autumn sets

The fire of the evening burning

One last flame

As the fall set’s in

October at the fence line

While the moon sets the leaves

As the cold and warm intertwine

To bring the season of pumpkin

Again and again

Frost on the Gate at Dawn

Right before the onset of light

From the morning thrust deep into the freeze of winter

Upon the gate is a frost

So delicate yet deep and full

That the gate locks in it’s down position

While the snow gathers around

To cradle the depth of cold

On the morning

Where the ices goes

Where the Road Turns in Shadow

Around the pine

Takes a toll on the road

Where the road turns to shadow

In the pines beyond the waters edge

Where the grass grows

And the leaves change their colors

Bright and spledid into the autumn night

Beyond the road lies

The hope of yesterday and the

Bright future of tomorrow

Take me where the road

Turns into the shadows dark

When the Horizon Learns to Breathe

Upon the horizon

I lean my life

To know the presence

Of what can turn

In a moment

From the one

To the many

When the horizon set in it’s way

Unleashes the sun

For the last light of the day

When the horizon learns to breathe

We learn to live with it

To go through the moments

And let go

Of what is holding us back
