Crimson Chill Awaits
Virginia Salter

gray overtakes the eve
moistening the air
clinging heavily
to all within this narrow world

a semblance of autumn
licks hard at leafy edge
pulling orange and brown
from green and yellow furls

crimson waits within the wings
of a stage built in the sand
as starlight fades behind the clouds
and I reach to grasp your hand

though we say good-bye too soon
to carefree long and warming days
we will face the season’s change
with its awesome wondrous ways

as the warm succumbs
to autumn’s frost and chill
we will nuzzle close, embrace
while our love grows stronger still
