5. AUTUMN TREES

It’s all here, and I carry you in my soul
Everywhere on earth that I go.
Wind, seasons, stars.

     A humming in the quilted hay lodes.
     Softly visits the gurgle bird.
     Light gently intrudes.

Trees, leaves, water.

     Autumn trees, their bark armored
        gray for winter;
     Melting ice, on sandpaper bark
        in me.

Amazon e-book page Thank you for reading. If you love it, tell your friends. Please post a favorable review at Amazon, Good Reads, and other online resources. If you want to thank the author, you may also buy a copy for the low price of a cup of coffee. It's called Read-a-Latte: similar (or lower) price as a latte at your favorite coffeeshop, but the book lasts forever while the beverage is quickly gone. Thank you (JTC). PS: I wrote most of these poems (except the title poem, October Leaf) as a teenager, so I published them under the pseudonym A. T. Nager.
