september

there is an urgency
today
in the green
of the trees
behind my house,

leaves so seriously
intent
on coloring
the cooling light
as it falls to the ground,

as if they know
the nearness
of winter's
silver
silence.

Oh yes, they get so earnest before they start to fade into yellows and oranges.

Well as a September babe... I do love the autumn as it beckons in the winter. Every season has its magic. A lovely ode to september, though :)

true, the vibrant color is so
in my face lately, the leaves
and the bushes breezing all
around me.

cleanly written.
