Autumn - Ancient Cycles

The season slowly descends as Autumn begins greenery gives way to reds, yellows and gray ancient cycles repeat as summer retreats The squirrels furtively work gathering their food and it all just enhances the forlorn, autumn mood the warm air gives way to cool, breezy days crisp, clear, starry nights are lovers' delights angst, passion, desire they ignite the heart's fire and the season's transition stirs spiritual ambition the trees' colors they show on the eyes with a glow in the oblique twilight ever earlier comes the night can you hear the cries of the geese cyclical flight? it presents quite a sight in the late afternoon light then the moon starts to rise bright, orange, oversized what a sight for the eyes winter is awaiting just 'round the bend Ancient cycles repeat again and again
