A Thanksgiving Bouquet

The dark red
berries of a single tree 
in Autumn 

burst within 
the enchanting leaves of gold., 
like the fronds

of a rose
at Dusk, meek and sleepy, 
in the ebb

of a sun-
set.The soft briery pluck  
of a tenor

ukulele 
played beside the noble tree 
is a prayer,

shyly hushed 
by the dying leaves, the birthing 
drupelets.
