_______

MORNING COFFEE
As it drips
Seamlessly
Into my mug,
I’m reminded
That coffee
Transcends seasons
And so does
The light. 

_______

AUTUMN HUES
There’s a hue
Of amber
And burnt orange
in the air,
Matching the ever fading light
As the sun sneaks 
Into its hibernation.
My eyes water at the sight
Of its slipping away,
My heart stale 
In the passing of seasons,
Lost in the fading magic 
Of what once was. 

_______

WHO THE SUN IS
The sun looks that certain way today.
Taunting and teasing,
Tantalizing,
As if it’s trying to say
It’s coming for me, 
And that its upcoming absence 
will disrupt my joy. 

Then I remember
Who the sun really is, 
And I smile once more.
