today is a new day to

join the center,

live in the warm embrace

of our spirited home.

I coil inward like a snake

as part of nature that hums

with the sounds of earth,

and the moisture of the rain

that’s incoming,

makes transitioning gentler.

the weather has cooled

with the crow’s caw.

the trees are more relaxed.

here, where the sun shines

consecutively, we get a chance

to dance along the edges of

clouddrops somersaulting;

its tiny splash of autumn

dives into me and my heart

is at rest.
