whispers of chill
dwindling light
the crunch of leaves
reflective sight

vivid foliage
arresting breeze
a blanket's softness
nighttime freeze

production slows
holidays stir
indoor activities
nostalgia's purr

i walk quietly
through an expanse
of dewy grass
and feel 
the tall blades 
deposit cool droplets 
on the skin
of my ankles and feet

my eyes settle 
on the opal mist
hovering above 
the heavy heads
of summer wheat
stretching as far 
as my eyes can see

i breathe in the coolness
of the air
and notice the way
it moves crisply 
across my exposed skin

i lift my eyes 
to the horizon
and watch 
as an unseen hand
paints soft pastels 
across the sky

an overgrown path 
winks invitingly 
offering
to take me 
somewhere new
but i decline
because 
i have no desire
to go or do
i just want to be
a part 
of this lovely morning
