Enough the leaves say Without the wind's least suggestion As all the neighboring trees
Heave a collective sigh and Silently resume shedding
Time is now a mirror
In which winter looks
Ands sees the face of spring

Poem for the First Deep Frost
Last night's deep freeze
Brought this morning's leaves
To the brink of capitulation
Now they all know it's time
To let go of the dream
Of endless summer
Enough the leaves say Without the wind's least suggestion As all the neighboring trees
Heave a collective sigh and Silently resume shedding
Time is now a mirror
In which winter looks
Ands sees the face of spring
Enough the leaves say Without the wind's least suggestion As all the neighboring trees
Heave a collective sigh and Silently resume shedding
Time is now a mirror
In which winter looks
Ands sees the face of spring
