Standing out there in the chilling sunshine,
Waiting while she found that relieving spot,
I look out over the way and my eyes filled
With another one of Autumn’s canvassing
Of the juxtaposition of nature’s beauty.
Looking down through a wide palisade trail
Of a nice little forest, my eyes caught a canvas.
On the right side stood tall saged green trees
Towering over cute little red-looking small ones;
And on the left stood several tall saged naked trees.
What was astonishing, however, was that
Each side of this palisade had a calm glow
That the sunshine gave on this chilly day;
Canvassing another one of nature’s lessons
Trees teach about life, death, and resurrection.
She having finished, un-humped and turned homeward;
I just kept looking over my shoulder at those sage trees.
In the chilling sunshine and soft breeze, I swear I could hear
Those grayish naked trees saying to the green and red ones,
“I been where you are, and will return. Hope you’ll be there.”
