Rekindle

Spirit of wind ripples through baring limbs
Announcing on whisper of chilly wind


She is here, Autumn, her presence announced
‘Arrival long due, I bring new season to you’


Thankfully, we leave go of doubts; acknowledge
Fall's Power, crisp among rainbow of leaves
Grass browning, sleeps, squirrels coil in trees


Birds wrapped in their feathered down know
Now is time for Summer's mien to go

These new months shan’t settle upon our senses
Instead: uplift and stir, invigorate! Remembrances


dance lively in minds now waked by the airy news
resonating that, indeed, we shall be renewed…
