Fall by Adrian CalhounCaught in-between.
Twilight caressing in a gentle embrace.
On the horizon, closing in fast,
silvery shadows of the moon dance.
Thundering as horses hooves,
racing wildly across the midnight prarie,
a distant freight train cries out.
The sun kisses the moon good-morning,
while the stars refuse to part ways.
Autumn has sprung,
and the leaves are falling all around.
A chill is in the air,
not quite here yet,
but its' presence is felt.
Soon the snow will be flying,
but for now,
we have wonderous beauty to behold. 10/16/2003 Posted on 11/01/2003 Copyright © 2025 Adrian Calhoun
