equinox

as the days shrink
and the air cools,
so do I.

the autumnal equinox approaches.

in solitary rambles
I walk through brambles
beneath the changing leaves
letting go of summer
in orange and ochre endings.
prepare for winter's hibernation;
a well deserved rest.

know as the globe
tilts and turns,
so do I.

my spring
will come again
