AUTUMN SUNRISE

 

Autumn Sunrise

The day begins with a service of radiant majesty
Enacted in the overarching cathedral of the sky.
Is this the funeral ceremony of summer
Which has slipped inexorably away;
A grandious display of exuberant pomp,
That celebrates the seasons’ sempiternal succession,
Bequeathing memories of vigorous and playful days
To the more mature mind of autumn?
If so, its passing doesn’t go uncelebrated,
And not entirely unmourned,
Although, breathing a long and soulful sigh,
We welcome a more somnolent and soothing time of year.
