AN AUTUMN ARRIVED

Yellow blended with crimson

Scented with grape molasses and walnuts,

An autumn arrived.

All the winds stand poised for winter

The earth is as warm as the palm of my hand.

 

The vineyards have been harvested, filled with the joy of the vintage

Pantries are packed to the brim, barrels overflow with bounty.

Our branches bow low beneath their heavy load,

And birds have turned their wings toward the south.

 

An autumn arrived, brushing right beside us

Amidst our leaves and our branches,

Turning shades of yellow and orange.

With a magical rustle,

Breathless and brimming with abundance,

An autumn arrived and passed among us.
