breathing in autumn,
setting free the callow heart
like leaves from a tree.
=== ===
cold waters flow
until rigid with winter –
this is not our way.
=== ===
the lonesome one knows:
where you are doesn’t tell you
who you will yet be.
=== ===
some birds stay longer,
though their flocks left long ago,
and i understand.
=== ===
earth and water speak;
the wind sings, stoking our fire –
this, our element
To share is human:
