And this is how the fall went with caution to the wind

head first    mouth agape

spread open on an electric field

and the sun blazed on

defiant to the changing of seasons

blood moon eclipse

on the rise

hallow's eve a shimmering 

searchlight

extinguished

candles always flicker

a full thanksgiving moon

teetered like a heavy ship out at sea

all crammed up and predicting a storm

the solstice    a zephyr

a breath from my ancestors 

full of

labrynths and fire 

new moon in aquarius 

and I summon the 

pureness and tranquility of snow

the cycle of seasons

drawing the same breath of Redwoods 

i give thanks

in awe of the balance

always shifting
