Stepping Into Twilight

All year I wait- anticipate the rusting of the leaves.....the mad disorder of them blowing filling up the eaves I long to brace against the chill with woodsmoke in the air. and walk these orange corridors where all the trees are bare. As I step this cushioned path at year’s end suddenly aware of time that’s gone I’m thankful for the wisdom to endure all that winter and heaven may be holding.
