The Quiet Arrival of Autumn


autumn arrived this morning

shrouded in mist from a cool night's rain

ground still damp, and already leaf scattered.

summertime took its leave on

sweet, crisp air that carries my heart

to hushed places of reverie.

there is a quiet in autumn warmth

of peace mingled with departure

as the earth slowly curls back within itself

seeking solace for a time.

and I, with it, retreat to gentle meditation

of what was and what has come to be.

let grace fall in golds and reds

and still the ground with composure.
