As Autumn Ends
Late autumn glides with buoyant ease
Where songbirds twit a mellow note;
A hymn for cycle’s last reprise
That graces rippled leaves afloat:
November whorls its amber lace
Endowing quiet as blooms cloak
The lanes the fields… in night’s embrace
When trails of garlands limp evoke
Crisp season’s end… nipped trees droop low
As moonshine blesses each day’s reign,
Immersed in gray ...where all things flow
While comfort soothes my breath, my gain.
I shall but hold Fall’s velvet wrap
Before the jaws of frost entrap.
