Change of Season
CHANGE OF SEASON
Today brings about a new season
A lingering darkness awaiting the
Sprout of sunrise in an eastern sky
Winds shifting, a drafty Canadian air
Cool and prickly on the skin
Clouds dense and low-hanging as though
Stuck in the throat of heaven
Like a ball of cotton
Leaves changing to rust, gold, and bronze
Curling into themselves, dropping from limbs
Like fluttering origami kites
A sudden eruption of autumn shades,
Blooms of mum and aster
Like tiny bold-colored umbrellas
Snapped abruptly open
Such a phenomenal change of scenery,
A cheerful death, bound to bring
Yet another spring awakening.
