Autumn Grace
Capilla del Monte, Argentina
The Luxury of a garden lunch, beneath a simple blue décor:
The final ears of spinach are crisp to the cold
Hearty peppers suggest the need for a warmer coat
And boiling soup of potatoes and carrots to arouse
The final warm embers that will soon embrace another night
Creatures still abound; those in for the long
Haul of colder and windier nights
Whose afternoon chirps belie the quickly dipping sun;
Not exhausted, exactly, but none of the fiery truth
That once burned in summer veins
Read this page, fresh from autumn, grace
Songs of a voice hidden among barely clad limbs
Greet hungry viewers; no; participants all
In the Global touch of Autumn Grace, just now arriving
At the Chapel on the Mountain; a show well rehearsed,
But nevertheless spectacular in its subtlety.
We, none of us, may merely witness and observe
We, all of us, sing too our songs, brew too our soups
Change too our colours, fall to our knees
In humble awe of Autumn Being
Within
