OSMOSIS

 

 

 

Autumn speaks

of dead leaves, softly windswept

over

Summer's immense greenery

 

 

what once was a snug retreat

 

of dour amusement

 

suddenly-

 

autumn takes center stage

 

 

 

for ways of autumn

 enter

with fallen leaves squatting
 quietly around each other

bathing in pale cold sunshine

against this wide porch

 

 

 

 

and

all our secret places come into view

as a biting wind blows a sour tune

through creaking trees

and rustling oaks

 

 

 

 

and welcome gates silently shiver 

from gusts of wind

and surrender

once again

over taken by

wandering leaves

and an explosion

of knowing

how beautifully leaves grow old.
