Still warm light from autumns torch
Suns weak rays filter yellow hews
Blackbird trills in echoed alarm
Float in whispered warmth
Scent of Autumn , slight decay
Opens up the hallowed way
That ushers winter yet to come
Meanwhile soak up the fading sun
Dried up grasses swish and dance
As I pass ambling down the path
Strip the seeds as I walk past
And scatter them in random act
Through the dell and up the hill
Past the stream now gliding still
Cows look up indifferent, size me up,
As slowly , quizzically, chew the cud
Too the lake now gentle mist
A sheet of milk that swirls and twists
A chill descends,shoulders shake
Hurry back now before it’s late
Black bird still startled in alarm
As I now take your arm
We wander home , two as one
To start tomorrow as today began.
