nature’s melodic tune
slows and deepens her voice
as days grow shorter,
a quietness vibrates
and covers all with colors
that reflect the quivering of her bow
vibrant with decline,
a signal to prepare for going within,
humming in a silent meditation–voices mute
streams and waterfalls flow with less urgency
readying for autumn’s harmonious refrain
the forest sheds summer’s abundance,
foliage no longer needed, branches
grown weakened are discarded
poco a poco
stilling, orchestrating change,
she conducts All of Everything
to begin to rest
gently, by tiny increments of
lower light and coolness coming
on the whispered breeze,
she moves in stealthy, measured steps
