Silver sunlight, clouds
Of white and gray, blue. Autumn
Light is different.

Each yearly cycle
Ends with fiery colors, cold
Dark sleep till rebirth.

Light later, darkness
Earlier. We nest, we hide.
Awaiting the chill.

Fog draped over trees
The air is chilly and damp
Slowly changing greens

Light comes later, days
Grow shorter. Chilly mornings.
Leaves color and die.
