autumn

the summer is gone
autumn's not in denial
of what is to come
............................
play come september #
just return the old freedoms
this the world deserves
...........................
inseparable
the leaves console the branches
look beyond winter
..............................
for van gogh could see
the fall in a sun rising
golden perceptions!

  1. I like the last concept: to look beyond. I also like the idea that one season can deny what the next protents.

    "Come September" means something totally different in the Southern Hemisphere.

  3. "the leaves console the branches" is such a lovely final image!

    As per Julie's comment, "Come September" means "Come Spring" for me in Australia, so I kind of get mixed messages there!

  6. The leaves console the branches only for as long as they can, then they must fall away, one by one. Thanks for this.
