Autumn's Song

                                                                  

By now, autumn's loon-sun is lingering on its blue water-sky.

This fifty-five-degree freedom breeze

Has just invited me to step down to the lake's warm shoreline,

Take my final forty or so familiar paces out to dock's end,

And sing a valedictory to this cabin, this village, this solitude.

 

But when I begin to give voice to my emotions,

Emptiness tightens my chest, and my lyrics are water spirits,

Glistening at the corners of my sorrow,

Dropping into the lake's loon-sun,

The blue water-sky inviting me to step into autumn's song.
