Reflections of September
The late afternoon casts a shadow upon the rangy summer grass
While they pick busily on weeds and seeds
Passing along is the season that moves so fast
It must be an oasis of great height to them
When they bend into the great green abyss
So sweet, they are jumping from stem to stem
If life was so simple as this, find your food then rest
Rest yes, rest upon your limb
And there you chirp so brown and trimly dressed
Patience and I are but a guest
While the warm days are at their abbreviated test
No, neither a moment, nor a second in nature is wasted at best
For change is inevitability
So I shall greet the new light
And watch as the sparrow adjusts in their tranquility
