Out Making Anticlines

Spirit Of A Wayward Sun

Every autumn has a spring to tell,
a spring to seek,
a wellspring deep within;
you were born on the eve
of equinox: you have a choice.
In summer you can choose
fall if you like,
raking in the crisping leaves
even while the iris sizzle
out along the garden wall;
or in the autumn stop
to pick a roadside daisy
in the green and sunshine.
What a spring you tell,
glory and white trumpets
as the world leaps out
of hiding and you come to be
what you have always been,
the hope within a season,
spirit of a wayward sun.

What a beautiful concept...
a most enjoyable poem
from start to finish...

I think you finished it
too soon.

I was enjoying the walk.
