Fall

Fall

If I place the chair just so
the auburn sunlight plays a kalidescope
upon my face

Through fading leaves
amber gold of harvests yield
gifts received in arms of grace

Fallen apples all around
autumn breeze, cool autumn breeze
afternoon in falls embrace

As a child I ran
through natures orchards
dappled sun enveloped this space

Now as a grown man
tainted eyes I see
the boy in me upward turns his face.
