1st Day

1st official day of fall
today
had to pull on my sweats
beneath my gown and robe
as the chill
attempted probe
beneath the layers
even so
the sun has shown brightly
all morning
and finches perch
feeding the chill out of their bodies

fascinating time
of reds, golds
late harvest
heavy dews sparkling
in the sunlight
that rises so quickly
one can barely believe
its passing
like a fiery chariot
leading the race
keeping its pace
as rapid as its coursers
can fly
as if tarrying at all
it would miss the fall
of dusk upon us all

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Awesome Virginia!! It's a cool one here to-day as well. To think that just yesterday here in Ontario it was tank top and shorts weather!! Enjoyed this write. Chris

Wonderful poem. It was indeed a little cold this morning. I love the fall when all the leaves start turning colors.
