Autumn At the Heart

AUTUMN AT THE HEART She’s a world has gotten drowsy Evolving face of autumn Like gold then scarlet amber Like blood from beetle vein At heart her core lacks action still She has this sort of stadium swell A far and muffled roar on susurrate air Which brings her round again Her essence lay at kindred depth At oneness with the fertile Earth Where roiling life all seasons sways She bows to nature’s royal domain Dave Austin

Daver, my granddaughter, Carissa, is too young to really understand your poem him but today I taught her about Amber, what it is and where it comes from. She became very interested when I told her about the tiny insects it sometimes get trapped in Amber. Thank you for helping me to teach her something new today. You know how much I love autumn and I really enjoyed your lovely poem. 7 ; )
