Revisionist history

Is it possible that autumn is just as much a season of renewal as springtime is? Think about it -- the bursts of color, the gathering of the harvest in all its abundance. It's a celebration of life all in its own right. Time to give autumn its due. We're in the orchard with glowing photos and rolling commentary, at blog.amynelsonhahn.info

Autumn revision

The wreath of leaves
you sweep undying
at my feet --
I cannot turn away
but space to cherish
another day.
Golden mead gathers
hanging low and rakishly
yet I bow my head
for none other.
Sweep my soul
clean from this rounded earth;
leap with greenest pleasure
to the endless change.
I cannot loose away
these last poor tidings
but save to cherish
a coming day.
