Coincides with first day of fall
and Autumnal equinox for said year,
where colorful splash kindled like tinder.
After I riff flecked about thee August
Autumn Equinox 2023,
this seasonal polymath teached you
fall Equinox will be Saturday,
September 23, 2023, at 2:50 AM,
in Northern Hemisphere
Eastern Daylight Time,
which spoiler alert thy
learned wordsmith (courtesy Google),
when (Our Sun) Welles
Smoke ascended, swirling gracefully,
From the chimneys of mud houses’ kitchens,
As I bid farewell to my beloved village.
Lips of my mother, weathered and wise,
Moved in silent prayers, murmuring pleas,
And her frail, aged hands reached towards the heavens,
Beseeching God for my journey’s success.
COVID 19 lookalike -
but not ominous
Tough outer shell
so protective of
Its inner beauty.
Polished mahogany
In a bed of white velvet.
Every Autumn -
What a natural treasure!
