Nature's Shift
The opus leggy grasses sing in the gusts
Curious hands stretched across the blade tips
Inviting the musty scene of autumns blush
Candy orange blossom apple crisp
Cherry red brush ablaze over the fields
A meadows laughter, a meadows wish
Gathering dews drops that gently glisten
Harps of elation's pluck the birds of song
Soon they take flight for a journey, listen
The linger crickets ponder chirping shoreward
Soon naked birch peel their tender bark
Steel eyes from above cast their calendar forward
Lonesome nights straddle below the moons eyes
Shinning down like glass upon the a midnight hour
Lapping bonnets of quaggy fen and the eerie loons cry
Summer has stroked on by!
