September Awakening

light breaks through clouds
stillness of late morning
a time for passage
lines of a possible
verse stir
reflections of gods
reflections of nothingness
reflections of old love
stars hide
above sunlight
a new planet found
it’s still forming
astronomers
ask questions of life
and its origins
and soothsayers
still ask
why we live and die
waters stippled
reflections
a time of passage
a pond in the park
where ducks
and canadian geese
gather and play
limbs and leaves dance
in a breeze
a mother takes delight
the moment
her toddler son
slides down a slide
a man sits proud
on a bench
loses himself
on a day off
from work
a time of passage
when summer waits
to bleed into fall

This is such a lovely poem ! So much happens in September and at the end ' Summer waits to bleed into fall'. Like this grand finale and this great time of passage, dear Mike.

Love this one, Mike: Dawn is when I feel closest to nature and as you notice all these beautiful changes you feel alive. SuZ

oh this one is not a mirror one. But I love it still. The last line is amazing
