Autumn's Flood

The Seasonal Dam Breaks

Flooding Leaves...
		Golden Yellow Streams
		Torrents
		Grounding
		into an aftermath pool
		of paper thin leaf
		
Kicking feet, pound, crunch, swish, brush aside
that which drank deeply of summer
now blanketing in oranges, reds, yellows
dancing to decaying brown.
		
            

The nature of our life isn't measured by the change of seasons,
but within the cycle of renewal.

Casey Kochmer Nov 2007
