Slip into the day awakening
Of morning in her coral yawn
Of Autumn Sun rising
Of sky with dabbled clouds
Afloat in blue.
It started that way in the no breeze of stillness. A calm of no movement of branch or leaf.
A morning that flirts with blue sky and sunny possibilities. Only to meld the dabbled clouds
In one blank shade of grey that smells of rain that must be given.
And so it gives in sprinkles that spat in a slow giving that made way for the afternoon to chill.
Of falling acorns that riddle the roof with the scamper of squirrels that make ready a season
Tucking into the cozy of hearth to laze the day in comfort.
As slow as it goes the speed of life picks up as age becomes of many decades lived.
Where youth took her time to unfold in the waiting forever for what was next to come
It comes faster now as the ever after calls from Infinity’s landscape
Afloat in blue
of sky with dabbled clouds
Of Autumn Sun rising
Of morning in her coral yawn
Slips into the day wakening.
