Pink hues from the west Filter through Snow covered boughs Leaving, The evening light
Squirrels with bushy orange tails leap about the deck. Crickets hum, confused that it’s not dark yet. The caw of a blue jay

In the blink of an eye It’s a different scene On the big movie screen So easy to get absorbed In the story line of time.
Leaves falling, Another season Decorating the earth. One red leaf In my path,
