fall is coming
and the winds have turned cold
the leaves aren’t changing but
a few brave ones have fallen
and although it’s hard to prove
I can see the new season arrive
in the sky, in the way the clouds
hang still, as if waiting, and the
blue shines brighter than ever
I’m lucky to be here, I think,
experiencing the sun-shine
and breathing in the world
at large
what a thing
to realize
