As My World Shifts

 

Autumn brings cool days even falling green,
    mingled with red, yellow and orange leaves;
    until all the branches are bare though still serene,
but the beauty of the dancing leave is sublime-

Halcyon intricate jaunty kaleidoscopic leaves,
    swirling, twirling, whirling, leaping, flying;
    all that beauty so divine in time interweaves,
'til decay ... and the winter trees remain-

Abrupt breezes chilly days even frostbitten gloves,
    oh, farewell to my beloved garden;
    goodbye roses, tangled vines, my herbs and foxgloves,
rest beneath a blanket of snow my loves-

Mother's name only peeks quiescent,
    all else is hidden beneath the pure white;
    kneeling ... I leave a bright bouquet iridescent,
oh, dearest rest beneath your snowy quilt 'til spring-
