autumn years autumn
for awhile now and yet again
there's been bright clear sun soaked days
drawing in seldom seen rural horizons
while mirrored trees cast glittered reflections
over river kaipara as it snakes it's way
to it's harboured sea
golden sunsets abstract twilights
starry nights turn to return
on
our boggling far flung
universe
everyone’s god is
there
it’s my kind
of season
though
rain sometime soon
would be welcomed by more than
gardens trees and water tanks
there's
a balance needed
in really living
this life
and nature's seasons all
play their part
as I of nature play mine
since my own bright and dark welcomed
spring
mixed summer dreams and
at least one or two well lived nightmares
unto this a fairly fine autumn years autumn
earth ink and ecstacy … rolled on.
