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 the crunch and shift of coarse gravel,
see the dust rise upwards beneath our shoes,
and feel the cool wind blow our hair across our faces.
Stop, view of the bank, against large white rocks
and tall green and withered sedge blades. Listen
to the hastening heartbeat resonance
of transparent aquamarine, cool river,
where it runs deep, flowing downhill.
Tree limbs full of a brilliant autumn palette
of colors sway as the breeze quickens its pace.
Take a walk with me and breathe a piece
of heaven that beckons and awakens my spirit.
