Mysterious blessings are found
In a moment of autumn balance
Between light and dark
Summer lingers stubbornly
Before winter's insistent approach
The crisp chilly night air
Awakes to greetings and the promise
Of a warm embrace by the morning dew
The season ebbs and flows
Reminding us that cruelty
Is only mended by kindness and
Sorrow's fretting healed by
Time's tender inevitable grace.
