As we approach this new season, this time of growing darkness, I remembered this piece was sitting in my stuff, waiting to be shared. Also, with the New Moon tonight, also a time of letting go....
AUTUMN
Urge me to drop every leaf I don't need
Every task or bad habit I repeat past its season
Every sorrow I rehearse
Each unfulfilled hope I recall
Every person or possession to which I cling-
Until my branches are bare, until I hold fast to
Nothing
Tutor me through straining night winds
In the passion of moan and pant
The gift of letting go
At the moment of most abundance
In the way of falling apples, figs, maple leaves, pecans.
Show me the way of dying in glorious boldness
Yellow,gold, orange, rust, red, burgundy.
