As Autumn's Breeze

OPENING scene, A brush of a chill signalled the start of this overture each plant howling for attention through the hue of its leaves warming, inviting, seducing us with this libretto The change was AN infection OF the air as the heat was slowly enveloped by Mother Earth only to leave the deep, gradual smell of mossy-manure and the predictable The applause of this Opera was fading in snow as the chirp of these birds became chitter and peep An Aria of the night that faded with the rising of the dawn, much to signal these skating changes Ode to our protagonist, Jack Frost! Who has conquered the beast yet coward under the settling freeze To slay but now to sorrow was the tenor of this scene FINALE, these Days crept-on in silent undertones, the rivers preparing to hibernate From the subtle flirting snowflakes, to the clear and chill of crystals So too, the blizzard awaits in eager JAWS, agape. 2016/08/26
