As Easy As
Embracing September's autumn Is as easy as grabbing a flannel jacket And a steaming cup of coffee, On my way out the kitchen door, Descending a dozen and a half steps, From the deck to the tan-sand shore, Then navigating past the bunched cluster Of eight-to-ten-foot-high cattails Waiting at the dock's entrance — The lake's welcoming committee, Extending, to me, its fecund shafts.
Seizing autumn's September Is as easy as engaging my best traits: Curiosity, exuberance, imagination. Possibly a flock of mallards Will invite me to glide with it, Fly to day's other shore, Or perhaps the gentle waves Will mistake my toes for minnows, Beguile me into the shallows; Maybe protean nature will allow me To exchange my blood for the lake's.
