Equinox

The Earth
is neither
Toward
Nor away from the sun
Equinox
Equinimity
Balance
Harmony…
At least within
The earth
Today (Sept. 22)
And then there it goes again
A little off
One way
or another
In this case,
In the fall
We descend into darkness
Cold, snow, dark
Fun
Though
A little more serious than
Say
Summer
When one can run around in flip flops and a bit of fabric here
And there
And that’s it.
Now we must take great care
Wear shoes with laces and jackets with snaps and
Hats with flaps and
Scarves that wrap
And keep out
the cold
and dark
Of another winter.

I love the seasons,
the changing of weather
and clothes.

Welcome to Fall of 2009
Now, and never again
The light falls
Just like that
