Autumn Comes
Yes, autumn
comes.
Summer declines,
and
Days shorten,
Nights extend
their benevolent province
Over the land.
Leaves fall.
Sap recedes into
trunks and roots, and
Geese callings
reappear.
Yes, it is time
to harvest,
Time to gather,
Time to begin to
wonder
How the long
nights will be filled.
