Autumnal Equinox

yep,tonight
it begins
around 9pm
autumnal equinox
And tomorrow the days
will be hasty, waning into winter
as Autumn tries to deceive us
with wonder
hoping we will not notice
that our fair Lady,Summer,
has stolen away
in the night

leaving us with surrendering leaves


and gasping flowers...having one last word to say,
leaving their last will and testament behind
for their heirs.


But she must have looked back,one last time before she
wept goodbye....and threw us a splash of color to remember her by
until next year......for she had to go


others wait for her arrival
weary of Old man Winter
and his inward ways



      so farewell grand Lady



Godspeed

  1. Oh this is so beautiful, your words as well as your photos. You paint such a pretty scene, and yes indeed, others wait for her arrival. We are in the midst of fierce vernal equinox weather!
