Suzanne's Autumn Night: A Poem
Suzanne's Autumn Night
(for S.M. & M.U.)
Saturday's mild afternoon yawns,
stretching into cool evening sighs
like a cherished house cat waking from a dream,
crisp autumn dusk awakens abruptly,
rubbing October's fiery chameleon eyes.
The covert transition of evening,
compared to the absence of light,
caused many to look up, to take notice,
of celestial beauty surrounding
Suzanne's autumn night.
The night moonscape shines
through spaces in cool trees,
through bangs and branches
leaves like tresses
of half-naked trees,
like
autumn
hairs
falling
free
Night sky lighting mirrors
sky night lighting night lights
sky soiree held with its own
celestial version of flickering candles
and twinkle night lights.
lights night night lights twinkle lights lights night
Family and extended family bathe
in the warmth of festivities, circles
new and rekindled friendships
circles around cozy fire spaces
circles around light circles light circles
circles bathe in autumn moonlight moon circles
Night progresses rapidly into hours
Bathing in the autumn moonlight,
until our memory whispers here,
"Wasn't it just beautiful-
Suzanne's autumn night. "
