It's time for the 
Fall clearance sale
along the urban trail.
Your last chance
for real bargains in
summer leaves,
acorn seeds and 
English walnuts,
Summer hopes and
dreams of full bellies
to last the winter,
lazy rivers and the 
last blackberries,
much has already 
gone to decay,
grasses and late leaves
spin in the first cool breezes,
some, were washed into mud
in last nights drizzle.
Prices cut drastically,
we must move this merchandise now
so we can bring in the winter line.
Now, now, now,
is the time for the last
warm fantasy, prices are slashed,
before the sun sinks lower
and cold shadows usher
in the winter pelts.

Birds On Snowy Days

Snowy days cover mornings of solitude as birds are flying in the sky. Gold flutters 
adjusting the wind's blow for the cold winter to remember this touch. Snowflakes in the 
night's terrorism, in fields of dreams they rest. Let those who can fly escape, as it is 
their chance to feel free this time, as clock is ticking and the hours are shrinking back to 
their corners, let those who can run in clouds be blessed. These snowy days the Sun 
rests upon a white flame, murmuring light. These days birds are leaving for another 
land to find treasures they are missing, holding a map into their nebs. Yet, there are 
some that wait in the cold for the winter to pass it's veil to another world. There are still 
some that pray in darkness of a freezing season, warming their heart with tears, not 
leaving their home.
