Autumn Comes
As gradual,
soft, and quiet as a revolution of the moon,
Autumn comes,
bringing with it shorter days, falling leaves
Declining vigor
in grasses and vines.
Autumn cools the
earth,
Inviting furrows
to rest and wait.
Soon there will
be chill upon the furrows,
Soon there will
be a deeper coolness
That will
prepare the earth for winter frost,
Readying the
earth for December’s freeze.
