autumn lays a cold hand on the lake
as its shores slip into evening shadows.
twilight's reminiscences bring joy and sorrow to bear.
under a painted sky i envision the freezing of the lake and the winter gale.
loneliness is in the air, in that settling autumn hush,
as seeking shelter becomes the point of it all.
another season of my life has passed
but in the sureness of beauty, I am comforted.
in the peace over the chilling land, i am replete.
