Fall is drowsy, a meandering
toward the dreaming sleep of winter;
it is not death, it does not mourn
but flings color towards the sky
in celebration of a sabbath rest:
come spring, there is new life
and work to be done in summer—
but now is time for pondering
the years behind, and yet to come
in stillness, and comfort, and joy.
