Deep Autumn's Rise
DEEP AUTUMN’S RISE
Deep autumn rises
Alike a fond glance
At a balding friend
One is suddenly aware
That life – almost suddenly – changes
Almost certainly ends
Some idealists reach back
To summer to a warmer time
And find upon vision’s inner screen
A happiness all picnics
Beach volley summer moon’s kiss
All the earth gone green
And oh yes deep autumn’s fall
That sea of curl rust and ruby
Has open air painting’s charm
But maid moon when seen cold circled
Through barren branches
Gives one’s summer soul alarm
