The perishable Beauty

held in time

The colours of fall

Stain my soul

Grey water blue

Dated mint green

Orange and yellow

Of yesterdays sun.

They set, drip and saturate my silhouette.

Stained glass windows

Into my deeper innards

Sat on a cold pew

Wondering on the beauty flowing in.

To give thanks.

To slow.

To accept this yearly kiss.

A goodbye from the brights of summer.

Walk me through.

Listen now.

Or listen soon.

As we sink, soon to rise again.
