Autumn

Carpe Diem Weekend Meditation #58 Quest For A New Masterpiece “autumn”

fields heavy with frost
sliver of autumn moon shines
creating a dim path

early harvest moon
sipping tea on the back porch
shadows grow stranger

trees stripped of color
savage autumn winds raging
our hearts too, left  bare

full beaver moon
unrelenting north wind howls
night grows longer

last of autumn
maple leaves traced in ice
crunch underfoot

this autumn mist
even the birds abandon
their nests

this autumn evening
the caged dove laments
his lost freedom

cool winds blow
dune grasses bow
to season’s end

departing autumn
Fomalhaust’s brillance
begins to tarnish

 

Formalhaust is the leading star in the constellation Pieces. Fomalhaut can be found low in the southeast not long after night falls, and due south around midnight. There are no other bright stars or planets nearby, so it’s easy to locate the bright star of the autumn nights.

departing autumn
garden flowers fade
from lack of bird song

Autumn Retreat – Day 21

Autumn Retreat – Day 21

in the fading light
autumn waves carry away
summer love

Should love be replaced with dreams?
