Early autumn
the light is fading
even as the day gains strength
self-assessment over coffee
since childhood the sensation
i was floating above my life
far away that life occurred
but it is still occurring
closer to me now
grounded since you
and i am silent and grateful
in early autumn
with the light fading
even as the day gains strength
the wine of existence
gone to my head
the truth best expressed
as stillness.
