Another Autumn

\nAfter soft September sunlight teased the nearly turning trees
\nAnd the gatherings of swallows drew their patterns in the breeze,
\nThere was passionfruit for plucking and still hazelnuts to share,
\nAs a scent of fruit and bonfires filled the early evening air.<\/p>\n
In September summer’s ending, as it’s ending now for me,
\nWill my Autumn be as fruitful as the garden’s seems to be?<\/p>\n
There’s a half Moon sinking slowly through the graduated sky,
\nShining silver on her kingdom as we bid the day goodbye,
\nThere are blackberries and damsons and sweet apples by the score,
\nAs the Autumn in her hurry pushes Summer out the door.<\/p>\n
There are changes in the season that seem mirrored in my soul,
\nWill the future be as tasty as these fruits that fill my bowl?<\/p>\n
In the months before the winter Earth will dress herself in gold
\nMany mysteries and marvels choose this season to unfold.
\nAs the lambs and fawns of springtime find the time to come of age
\nA maturer Mother Nature takes her place on centre stage.<\/p>\n
In the Autumn of a lifetime are there wonders still for me,
\nAre the fruits I’ve yet to harvest filled with love and poetry?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
