Still, silent morning
Leaves of trees dappling the morning sunshine
A jet roars overhead
Destroying the silence of the sky.
Lengthening shadows of September
Promise changes to come
Promising the trees, the birds, the little critters, the mighty humans living down below
Crystal autumn mornings.
Cicyadas chirp of cold and frost and color
As leaves drop to the ground.
The end to this world, the beginning of the next
Soon, very soon.
Ten, fifteen, twenty years from now
All of this will still be here
And I will be gone.
