Autumn arrives.....


('Autumn Afternoon Stillness' by Robert Striffolino)




where love lives

the twilight years
never comes
never shines

of golden tones
peak ever so dimly
hues hold
their own,
through
fiery mists
sullen moods
hazy shades

escaping the
rays of age
old days
raging with nothing
when love
left,
bleeding orange
red, brown

autumn leaves
still coming
still living,
beyond the
twilight years.
