Fall is a brewing

by Melissa   Oct 4, 2007


Outside October perches its little feet
upon summer's fading scenery,
replacing marigolds with mums
and swapping tiki torches
for dimly lit jack o' lanterns,
illuminating midnight
with another seasons mysterious approach

and I cannot help but wonder
if fall had a heart,
to whom would it belong
(a fallen leaf,
the moon's cycloptic eye,
or perhaps someone of human descent)

an owl gazing restlessly
at the cool, autumn sky
seems to be interrogating God
with the same, single question
who, who, who

but no one answers

    I especially loved this stanza...
    and I cannot help but wonder
    if fall had a heart,
    to whom would it belong
    (a fallen leaf,
    the moon's cycloptic eye,
    or perhaps someone of human descent)

    Someone of Human descent, just brilliant.You have been on my favorites for many a mont, this piece is one small example of why. I can`t wait for the next one. Timothy r
