Red fall

Red fall slumbers in the past

Future’s end is in the ticking of a frozen beauty,

So lost in the timbers of solemn vow

Linked to a hearkened cry of the Seraph,

The reason of the two climbers

Descent is not due to gravity

But for believing in

the patience of the mountain

Red fall is awaiting them,

Deep, lush brooks with sprinkles of tinged and painted brush and leaves leftover from hot summer sun swimming along...

Is there room for the two climbers to dream?

Will the red fall capture what was once lost?

Red fall slumbers in the past

Catching the first bits of love, all lonely and burnt orange and ruby red

And letting it stay another season.

  • The beauty of fall heading into winter when it is good for love to remain for another season. It's nice to have someone with which to snuggle.
