Endings

 

Endings

•

shrouded by evening in waning october
as autumn tumbles towards winter
is to know the losing of the light
the ever growing darkness
the advance of the cold
the time of endings
death’s due vigil
deep silence
dormant
so still

how do I abide this season

  1. I love the shape you chose. It’s such a gravitational pull to center, to down, to endings, to coldness; we bear it so well because it comes with the deepest greens of evergreen, the un-nameable blue of autumn sky, the flaming maple, the quivering gold of Aspen, the silver shimmer of birches, and the variant yellows and browns pouring down hills, piled in our yards, crunching beneath our feet with crisp clean air, and fruit on the trees. Yum…it’s autumn again.

    1. Gay — that is the Yin Yang nature of Autumn, the colorful celebration of the season of death. Death is not wholly a negative when it comes to the seasons of earth, it is simply a change of states, clearing the path for the eventual rebirth of Spring… I too embrace Autumn fondly… 😉
