Autumn Drifts

they gently fall
like snowflake down
those autumn leaves
of tawny gold

there seems to be
no tree at hand
yet their color
is well tolled

they waft upon
the breeze, you see
they flit and float
and fly

bringing ‘round
a dream so sweet
of autumn’s
wane to dry

one might think
this season is
a time to die
or sleep

yet waiting
on the ground
they rest
till spring
and winsome creep

oh, Carpet Gold,
lie still, lie still,
paint the earth
your lovely hue

for winter’s rest
was made for you
to feed next spring’s
request

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