I came earthbound, yet
winter begins pearly grey,
heavenward-I leave
The last streaks of light
cut the dark, pierce the night
woods in late autumn.
November sunlit.
So strange for this time of year.
Trees, streets, path walkway.
Embrace the sunset
nightfall over the water
A candle flickers.
Light from the windows
Illuminates the days now
Autumn in the park
— M. Ann Macey
