the first day of autumn
the first day of autumn blows in
with gusts that laugh
at warmth
and colors of fire within
leaves a shade as fiery
as her grin
she blows through my hair
and echoes in my ears
summers long forgotten
seasoning
the best night of my life
at midnight on autumn�s eve
when I write these words
when I first met her
the day that she was born
I worry of the cold to come
wintry discontent
I remember the fall last time
lonely indoor nights long spent
but on the first day of autumn
the light lasts as long as dark
so I can tell the truth in time
or trust what isn�t said
one and the next day inconsistent
persistently resistant
impatient with the in-between
where all her answers lie
as the dew and frost
grow intimate
learning to overcome
trees fear
to lose their leaves
on the first day of autumn
