Shadow Walk

There is a clicking
 somewhere off in the distant shadows
 where the winds blow restless
 in some despairing lonesome cry;
overhead a jet plane roars within the stream
 disturbing the air of its thick clouds
 revealing darkening blue above the white billows
 and here in the fading garden paths
 bees and hornets grow tired of changing weather patterns;
brilliant sun lights the shadows that walk
 beneath the maple and mighty oaks
 shedding multicolored leaves
 turning dried brittle brown blankets;
November glistens beneath the sun
 the air crisp, clean, refreshingly cold
 awakening the soul to time changing
 moving forward ever back
 never standing still;
the seasons writhe in light and dark
 blending sun and moon, day and night,
 and safely hidden in the blustery upheaval breaths
 the ghostly shadows walk.
