autumn’s golden canopy

Heartbroken, she now forever resigned
For alas her sorrow had come to stay
No bells were tolling, no telling signs
No hooting owl on that bitter cold day,
When a fragile heart stopped and the world went grey
She walks at night praying to see his face in the pale moon
And looks for his brilliant eyes in the tempestuous sea,
But he’s not there she’s bereft, for he left gone all too soon
And she, once vibrant is now cursed to forever be
A specter of a woman haunted, yearning to be free

Recite
a charming tale
as we stroll the halcyon path
Vivid
memories come trickling forth, fall
from our cold trembling lips
to rest among
the leaves.

Sweet blessings to friends near and far
I’m grateful for you all
May your heart be joyous and thankful
May your table always be full
May your Thanksgiving be peaceful
Without all the noise of the world

Shadows washed in blue, trees painted in grey
light shrinks from the forest slips with stealth away
at the welcomed end of a steel vise cold wintery day
The forest comes alive in the waning dusky light
a gentle movement in music with gloom of coming night
as a Great Horned owl sings, spreads its wings, taking flight.
Nightfall is for hunters with stealth they hunt their prey
a time when creatures scurry, come out from hiding to play
when the melody of eventide crescendos, trees begin to sway
