The air has turned cool
Breezy autumn weaving
It’s way into the trees
Soon to turn them from
Hot seductions of summer suns
To crisp, chill, fall twilights
The early rises of the moon
Waxing, waning through its phases
I’ve begun to see birds
Migrating, flocks specking the sky
I wish I could become one
Wings spread, gliding on air
I would fly to you,
Into your hands, gentle, patient
I know you’ve been waiting
Large palms outstretched
For me, for the seasons
To change, for my heart
To open, new wings
Taking flight, soaring
