Autumn Equinox
The change is in the air,
a crisp chilled wind has begun,
trees are changing their vestments’
from vivid green to flaming hues
of golds, browns and reds.
Nature readies itself
for the deep winter sleep,
the bounty of the harvest
will be preserved, smoked and salted
to lengthen its winter shelf life.
The smells and tastes fill the air
giving it, its holiday atmosphere;
a time of jubilation for a job well done
and rest from the year long toils
that since early spring had begun.
It is my favorite time of year,
there is something magical in the air
and in the way it feels,
all the colors in their brilliant shades
inspire such wonder for their display.
The change is there, do you feel come?
It seems so surreal yet tangible,
playing peek-a-boo, now you see it,
now you don’t but make no mistake,
it is coming without preamble.
Yes, this is defiantly
one of my favorite times of year
it is when the world prepares
to winter down and settle in
for when the snows finally arrive.
