Of Form and Matter. It’s a 6.

Fall’s first light cascades through blinds, onto the wall, the corner of the closet door

I insist this Sunday, and give warning, I cannot be held at bay much longer

Sprint into the light of this day, relish un-relinquished warmth, revel in summer’s end

Hurry, I cannot hold back laying of the blanket under which you will soon walk

Breeze whispers, insects sing their death song, sun carries me along the still sidewalk

Soon, I will cloak you in changing colors… we will wear them together

    Door at the threshold, blind by the light, we fall?
    Longer at bay I am not; warn this Sun
    End, beginning, warmth, cold, yin, yang, into light I spr in t.
    Walk under a soft blanket, hold back? Cannot (will not)
    Sidewalk song, death whispers in the breeze
    Together,in changing colors, soon.

    👏 🍂

    Sensuous take on the change of season, and perhaps a longed-for visitation fulfilled.
    Beautiful!! ❤❤

    Nice phrase: “insects sing their death song” I like the last line of wearing a cloak of changing colors together.

      Thank you, Frank. Nature’s way.
      Alas, there are signs that cloak is being slowly unfurled.

    This is a lovely one. Fall’s my favourite season, and I’m looking forward to it again this year.

      Thank you, Nicole. Mine too.
      As much as I love fall, I’m already missing the longer days.

    Good wordation… (who doesn’t rue the summer’s abdication)

    Four seasons, the original metaphor, no?

      Thank you, Clark. It is difficult to let go.

      It would appear so!

    The change of light has not reached the swamps yet, but it’s nice to read that it’s on the way, and in such a delightfully phrased Six.

    Sweet, D, sweet. I love the fall season too. It’s like magic starts to happen after a long, hot summer.

    “Soon, I will cloak you in changing colors… we will wear them together”

    … what a superb line! 😎

      Her paint strokes become more visible with each passing day.
