Seldom Does the Soul Pause
Seldom does the soul pause
knowing it may
through stillness dissolve
yet I am drawn
as Summer’s clarity cools
through brown
to succumb
inspired by the forest’s celebration of decay
to rest within the flame
beside the oak and maple
where there is no beauty
only color’s discreet
conspiracy with delight
