The Season of Trees
The pond slowly drifts
as the colored leaves fall
bringing a bright colored dream
mysteriously to the water
I walk down the street
catching the plum, mauve,
fuchsia eminence
I become inflamed by
the rusts, oranges, reds
and yellows
Softer tones of orange
seem translucent, as the
soft light frees them
a soothing, subtle, beautiful,
look
The sky is cynical gray
waiting for the coming
of light and a blue sky
but, at this moment,
a somber force rustles
with the leaves as the
wind wildly creates
a momentary gradation
of mysticism and imagination
I feel intrigued by the mood
stirring inside me and hold onto
the season of the trees
