I Ought to Autumn

So much time into the calendar  soon the straw colored light  will be white. Time to start  something new before the frost sets in.  Remembrances of long walks  and echoes of voices and trails  walked on before. Time is moving  on as Autumn, the weight is heavy.  Bared by straw colored light  strong limbs with twigs,  upon which birds sit in oak  and spruce.  It has been many years since  a flame. The horizon of lavender  and yellow streaks the sky  with new possibilities to ignite.  As the rain dropping on dying  grass and crisp leaves, new  sounds and senses are stirring  and my mind is yearning. The cliche--nothing ventured  nothing gained picks up  with the wind which blows  hard right about now.  I should accept his invitation to go out let my defenses fall  as the leaves brown and golden.
