On an Autumnal mellowed evening

Blackbirds vocal intermittences

smoothly pleasing the listeners ear

 

tenebrously feathered performer

singing late into the dreamily fading light

 

I can but sit and be audibly pleasured!

 

How unrushed and calming the sound

fitting in so well

with occasional quills of chimney smoke

lazing their ways into the stilled air.

 

Although an ending is at hand

it will be the ending of something quite beautiful

that I have been priviledged enough to have been part of

and hopefully will be again

 

God willing.
