Autumn At the Heart

AUTUMN AT THE HEART

She’s a world has gotten drowsy
Evolving face of autumn
Like gold    then scarlet    amber
Like blood from beetle vein

At heart her core lacks action    still
She has this sort of stadium swell
A far and muffled roar on susurrate air
Which brings her round again

Her essence lay at kindred depth
At oneness with the fertile Earth
Where roiling life all seasons sways
She bows to nature’s royal domain

Dave Austin

Connie Marcum Wong October 16, 2016 at 5:20 PM Daver, my granddaughter, Carissa, is too young to really understand your poem him but today I taught her about Amber, what it is and where it comes from. She became very interested when I told her about the tiny insects it sometimes get trapped in Amber. Thank you for helping me to teach her something new today. You know how much I love autumn and I really enjoyed your lovely poem. 7 ; )
