Fall's Lasting Impression
Furiously blushing Sumac,
blended with yellow leafed maple
adorned with now naked vines.
Subdued in evening shadows falling,
the sound of whippoorwills calling
intoxicating the mind.
Fall’s lasting impression
speaks of higher design.
The small critters getting fatter,
looking for a warm safe haven.
The mocking bird and raven
long since following its instinct.
See how it all falls into place,
how so smooth is nature’s twine.
Fall’s lasting impression
speaks of higher design.
It’s time to stop and meditate,
on higher deeds than men impose.
Of how and why sweet repose,
goes hand in hand with nature’s bent
to sit and wait with full intent,
to sleep and rest for a time.
Fall’s lasting impression
speaks of higher design.
