Still
By Jaakko A. Ahokas
In the fall, I believe in poetry again
if nothing else it is
a movement of the mind.
Summers ball together
into sticky lumps,
evenings are glass beads from one mould
for standard-size youth
winter a smooth heaviness, not even cold.
But the mind trembles
here, on the brink
the mind trembles
there is life, after all,
there is life, still
unbelief left.
A mother, father, and two baby Clark's Grebes frolic in the warm afternoon sun, in early autumn. The father swims a short distance away, and returns a little bit later with the perfect meal for their picnic... a shiny silver colored fish. He hands it off to one of his children, and floats over to his wife to give her a kiss. They are a happy American family, enjoying life in their home, the waters of the Clifton Court Forebay, in Byron, California. There is just something deeply magical about the sunshine in autumn, that no other season enjoys.
Today's Autumn Leaf Of The Day...
