have up and moved to a different spot unseen,
in the blink of an eye up into the sky and disappeared
never to be seen again I fear especially so since
I know not who they represent or why they in their
inevitable wisdom decided to land in my yard;
the weather warmed up since yesterday
from what I hear will stay this way for several days
but when I see warm weather this late into the year
I always wonder if winter just as cold as ever
or if it may pass over with its gentle sister in towー
I see the leaves dying at the end of the limbs
I wonder why the entire tree does not suffocate,
but in the process of their rejuvenation
is the creation of more work for me...
although, it's an easy task for a riding mower;
how tidy is the yard that we made it so
in an effort to prepare it for its slumber
only a few task still remain but they are for much colder weather,
it will be weeks before they arrive without reservation
but we will host them all the same and
when we get tired of keeping their company
spring will soon call on us again...
we have no reason to be alarmed nor should we
mind our manners until summer, but
this is true as sure as I am saying it that
life is a wonder anyway that it arrives and treats
all of us the same from the butcher to the baker,
including the candlestick maker so we can see
what has been given to us for free.
