Counterpoise

~

the air is cooler for longer now

and mornings have become tardy,

summer has exhausted itself so

we should prepare for change,

there’s a final harvest due as 

important as the first with

sloes to gin and berries to jam

all before the rains come,

from within this hubbub, new 

words become harder to find,

still hidden behind the equinox,

it is a time for patience

where nothing should be hurried,

the world turns and we

must realign our senses to

search out new truths.
