One More Autumn
(For Suzette)
We have the gift
of one more autumn—
together.
One more time to hold
hands and make plans.
The September sky
is blue like
your eyes.
The leaves are
gold
like your hair.
Do I dare
to compare
you to an
autumn
day?
Alas,
autumn but
foreshadows
the coming of winter,
snow & ice
and silence.
So while autumn
lasts—
Let us hold each
other tight
and love until
blueblack night.
We are gifted
with one more
Autumn
& all its beauty bright.
