Feel the Winter Coming

Autumn's moon truly radiant and full
in a stippled and rapture blue sailcloth
of inward bliss. How fragile is the troth
in nature's errs that's hurled into the pull?

Alter of light dramatize trembling leaves
drifting throughout on the gravel below.
Shadows cast across the ground in repose.
Silence surge as darkness draws, heed for thieves.

Snappish breeze spring up slicing through darkness.
Wet mist and fever dew glimmer and press 
earth's unturned heart yet bizarrely ageless.
Then, gently kiss in soft fading stillness.

Winters day lull in early calm slumber, 
veiling life into a frosted wonder.
