Harvest



Air commands youth from all who breathe

The sun confers young titles. Don't rest upon your laurels though,


There's a price to pay for weather






The tithe for all this wonder

Get out, get moving, breathe in deep, it demands you do it now.

Harvest, gather, bring things in. Collect it, put it by.

It's perfect out there just right now, the best it ever will be 

Alas it will be something else quite soon 

And that is just plain over.

  4. Oh Marianne. We surely share this dread. Even on these recent fine August days . . something different in the light . . .

    The robin’s song is tarnished
    when she sees the sumac dripping red.

    Her heart begins a minor key,
    looking north at what may be.
