The crisp thoughts of autumn do linger
In the full bathing light on the land
Undisturbed in the daze floating outward
Remedy laying light in my hand

Not a breeze might the rumple of quiet
Up above sparks of solar affairs
The description that floods unassuming
But a snapshot of tangible cares

A delight settles down for the moment
Always welcome the lift left behind
Such an innocent spectrum alluring
In the intimate thoughts that I find

By the way may conclude in the darkness
But the richness of thinking commits
While a sadness of passing seems sown in
Every piece finds the place it befits

As I would not change time for a season
Nor give up a season for time
As each in it’s own step commences
Without seeking permission to rhyme

"Remedy laying light in my hand"

a transitive verb, too.

lay, that is.

But seriously, lady, you captured the sparkles of spots in the sky with this'n.

'twas lovely...

Amazing once again.....such rich and crafty words you spin, when you weave your poems.....a pleasure to read a poem, that can actually be felt as if it is alive......

Am I just "reading in," or is this poem terribly complex? I'll vote for the latter....and then go do something simple...work....

Complex?  I certainly would think so if I
were a betting man...This lady writes in a
way that most of us only can touch ever so
lightly...
