The First Hint of Fall

Writing poetry is an alternative form of self-expression. Every poem is a learning experience - a creative process to enrich my life.

Mother Earths Fall Celebration

The first hint of fall arrives

We slip into the leeward side of the seasons

The Autumnal Equinox

Enveloping cold fronts from the north

The sky regains its deeper hue

Crimson spider lilies dance on long stalks

Humingbirds visit for a nectar's drink

We walk through the woods as autumn leaves fall

Mother Earths fall celebration lies before us

A time for turning inward

The days grow shorter

the night grows colder

The flames from the fireplace

Rekindle a passion for ideas

Embers fertilize seeds of change

A harvest awaits us

Unity between ourselves and Mother Earth

Creating balance in our lives

Harmony in natural ways

A sacred entity

The autumnal equinox

The first day of fall

An equal duration of day and night

Mother Earth's natural rhythms

We welcome fall with colors gold

Every leaf in the forest

Every blade in the field

Nature erupts in all her glory.

Autumn is a Second Spring
