The Invitation

With another there were long walks  and echoes of voices along the trails. Time is moving on as Autumn, the weight is heavy.  Autumn is bared by the sun  and coolness yet 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 drops on deaden  grass and crisp leaves, new  sounds and senses are stirring  and my mind is cider. As I cerebrate this venture  my hopes pick up with the wind which blows hard about now. Dust may get in my eyes. So much time into the calendar  soon the straw colored light  will be white. Time to start  something new before the frost sets in. I should accept his invitation to go out let my defenses fall  as the leaves brown and golden.
