Chill in my tired bones
steamy breath follows
crispy red apples drop
firewood cut & stacked,
walk the dying fields
sleep with dead grass.
Colored leaves release
spinning down to ground
unpacked winter clothes
full dresser and closets,
walk the dying fields
asleep in dead grass.
Autumn’s song plays
a freshness of spirit
feel a harvest solstice
life’s circle goes round,
I walk a dying field,
I sleep in dead grass.
