-------An
Autumn Prayer-------
Nightbirds tag
along beneath the silver moon.
A shimmer of Winter.
Delicate.
At dawn,
I walk into the woods,
down, along a hill
of red and golden
maple,
into mist and amber
dreams
where the beeches hold
the green.
I do not wish to hope,
nor to be still
while the world counts
down the days.
I wish
to fly with the
seasons
so gently and
quiet,
as a leaf
falls.
I pray.
