Listen to poem:

In Reverence of Autumn

In Reverence of Autumn 
David J Walker

I see the traces of
A stream 
Flowing through the 
canopy of downed leaves
That have changed colors
In the gray places of 
the cold ground now
Ruled by Fall

It is complete
	It is all

In  natures cycle 
A reclamation of life
We mistakenly believed
Belonged to us

It is complete
	It is the call

That has settled in a
Mist holding the note
In reverence of Autumns
Firm but gentle hand
