blue autumn sky

the light on the green leaves is summer-bright
the sky is blue the temperature is mild
winter advances as does the long night

i sit at my computer smile indite
this poem in lieu of doing something wild
the light on the green leaves is summer-bright

the pain endures though right now it is slight
i wonder at the meekness of the child
winter advances as does the long night

where time is measured by the tones of light
in stillness of this moment undefiled
the light on the green leaves is summer-bright

the warmth is rising and the breeze is slight
the moment into memory is filed
winter advances as does the long night

time now for work time later for delight
joy in a heap like fallen leaves is piled
the light on the green leaves is summer-bright
winter advances as does the long night
