Changes: 11 /11 / 18

Poetry and photography by David H. Roche

Shirtsleeve weather, blue skies, soft breezes;

a day for feeding birds,
sitting back enjoying 

what comes to pass.

Smoke from dried flowers once a seed

rises from a bowl

that was once the antler of a deer

now held in my hand

reveals tomorrow will be

the host of wind, rain, cold and clouds.

Watching the smoke of the summer past

vanish in the wind of the present

I 'prophesy' this succession of changes

while shivering in the sunlight and

acknowledging the facts.

It's not magic…

it's the second week of November

…that's all!
