Autumn comes in like a thief loitering 'till the Last Summer Wind comes Fall has begun loading a full metal jacket encased, guilded in cupronickel & lead eager to break the will of lively verdant vistas down returning their beautiful souls and gentle spirits back to hallowed ground drifting, floating... quoting, noting poetic words unheard trying to veer, deviate for   shared moments... off without a sound. Landing over paths blowing into heaps swept by wild winds from  angelic wings drying, dying I hear them sighing Hoping children will jump in them smelling the bittersweet of yesterday raked and burned they are returned Sitting in gutters and streams even in death they dream in molting piles all the while these fading embers... come September again remember they stay within us   burning beauty until ... valuable things are given life again... come springtime.

"The Last Summer Wind"
Autumn comes in like a thief loitering 'till the Last Summer Wind comes Fall has begun loading a full metal jacket encased, guilded in cupronickel & lead eager to break the will of lively verdant vistas down returning their beautiful souls and gentle spirits back to hallowed ground drifting, floating... quoting, noting poetic words unheard trying to veer, deviate for   shared moments... off without a sound. Landing over paths blowing into heaps swept by wild winds from  angelic wings drying, dying I hear them sighing Hoping children will jump in them smelling the bittersweet of yesterday raked and burned they are returned Sitting in gutters and streams even in death they dream in molting piles all the while these fading embers... come September again remember they stay within us   burning beauty until ... valuable things are given life again... come springtime.

For my kitty Spanky, who is dying... So today seems to have some of that last wind.
