Autumn
I am thankful for autumn
For its slowing down
No hectic clamour of
Eager buds and green spill or
The urgent soaking up of sunlight
I am thankful for autumn
For its dressing up
Lifting gold and rust red
From the wardrobe
Slinging bronze over a shoulder
I am thankful for autumn
For its letting go
Quiet surrender, gently releasing
A thousand leaves
Waving and saying goodbye
