Still-Life of Autumn

Take a walk with me within the forest
Gravel path, laced in peach and yellow, leaves.

Inhale the spirit of air it surrounds.
Listen to crunch and shift of course gravel,
See the dust rise upwards beneath our shoes,
feel the cool wind blow our hair across our face.

Stop, view of the bank, against large white rocks
And tall green and wither sedge blades. Listen
To the hastening heartbeat resonance
Of transparent aquamarine, cool river
Where it runs deep flowing downhill.

Tree limbs full of brilliant palette autumn
Colors sway as the breeze quickens its pace.

Take a walk with me and breathe a piece
Of heaven that beckons and awakes my spirit.
