Winds Of Change
The stand of maple at the far end of the orchard
Sentinels of crimson/orchid sunset
Painted in bold strokes in the north and west.
Before the sunrise
The Seven Sisters will set
Orion and his dog stars at their heels
Holy, holy
Life may be plentiful throughout the endless universe
But it is only here
A month away form the equinox
That such indescribable beauty
Born on winds of change
And fleeting impermanence
Can be held so close.
