far off I hear bells ringing

I take in the leaves

of red, orange and gold

under a blue sky

I hear the soft steps

of deer grazing nearby

the sun is high but

soon will dip below

far off I hear the bells

ring signaling the

coming of winter

October afternoon

we sat side by side

sipping lattes 

while dogs in jackets 

walk by 

 

under autumn sun 

the golden leaves 

shower our heads 

like raindrops 

 

we walk hand in hand 

towards setting sun 

the moon waits  

behind clouds

opposite sides of the track

they were from different

sides of the track but they

always say opposites attract

who knew they would become

the new Romeo and Juliet,

an updated West Side Story

a love story older than time

yet still we wonder

how the tale will end

 

 

- Written for Quadrille #161: Staying on Track

in autumn

we watch the sun 

dips into the horizon 

as summer slips away 

 

the evening sky 

paints in lovely shades 

as we grow closer 

in minds and hearts 

 

far off, a hill lies
bare of green 

now blooming in 

autumn hues
