Fruit falls from the Poet Tree
Sometimes fast, sometimes slow.
A hushed descent, silent to all.
But you –
You hammer and shape them
On their autumnal fiery fall.
Climaxed they come to rest
Pealing their final perfect sounds,
A laugh,
A cry,
An inner sigh
For finally
All can hear.

Earth quaking trees sprinkled their pollen,
Powder puffing the forest floor.
A plume of golden mist rose up from its lush green lineage.
