Poetry, Essays and Art By J.H. Dickinson from All-Creatures.org
Autumn rising
Autumn rising
Within me
Plump, ochre
Amber sweetness
It carves the way
Of what is
To come
Winter, beautiful
Frost bejewelled finery
Trees skeletal that
Beckon, blackened watchers
This world rolls forward
I see you all, in wake of evening fields
Hot breath
Shuffle
Woollen observers
Movement soft
I step slowly
The hush – magnetic
The scene rippling
With scent and wilding call
Autumn rises in us all
Species alike
Akin to earth
To kin
To blood and bone
We feel it
We share seasons rolling
A journey
An ache for peace
Our story as yet undone
Of ripe beginning
Of flicker of hope
And healing
To all - lost souls
