Autumn Wind

Autumn’s Ending

It is no great surprise

in late autumn to behold

a flurry of flakes that move

briskly in the cool breeze.

The fall season is ending -

winter will soon commence.

The full Frost Moon lies

low on the horizon,

lays a rope of silver

on the lake’s dark surface.

Its light gently fades

in the slow rising of the sun.
