Fall
November 2, 2011
See in one’s mind an empty canvas,
With deft strokes, present with color
A mélange of titian and ochre
And with your eyes, trace slowly
Lines of brown amongst the cherries
Petal by petal, into the wind
The familiar road, now dusted copper
Brought on by the golden zephyr
‘tis what I see, nothing else matters
Walk the path with the wind at your back
And let the dancing leaves enchant
The canvas once blank, never the same again.
