autumn river
red yellow green gold orange rust
bright glorious muted
shades of Autumn
reflections of my inner state
harvest…birth
of the last of the magic
of springtime seeds
deeply planted
in rich inner soil
tilled by hands of
love devotion patience obedience
autumn river two
cornucopia of golden riches
fruit of hard labor joyous pain
painful joy…
born of the bittersweet chaos of
lusty summer abundance
autumn river three
autumn river four
even as my heart embraces
the joy of late fall harvest
it begins its journey of death…
departure to the underworld…
season of trees laid bare
heavily laden with
snow that covers a
cold and barren land…
my time of stillness
of listening in the dark silence
of the Deep
to Her Whispered Plans
of coming spring
with summer riding on
its wings…
rebirth…
thus the cycle continues
in a never-ending
spiral
of
joy
pain
death
rebirth…
the bittersweet exquisiteness
of this experience called
human life on planet earth
