Fall Reflections
Enthroned upon my easy chair The cat purrs softly, he's content The scene beyond the pane advanced Season's palette all but spent Yet branches loiter cloaked in hue Preparing hibernation soon To be enrobed in glittered ice Beneath a nascent moon The dusk of Sol's celestial ride casts shadow on Earth's industry As mother soothes her child in song Fall perseveres relentlessly And I within my cradle rock as season's gifts waft from the hearth How many more will He allow? before that scene is winter's shroud.
