Seasonal Transition


There is a seasonal conspiracy afoot

in the deep interior of the forest

where dark shade and dappled 

sunlight exercise their perpetual

confrontations and now that

late summer approaches light

is subsumed in the emergence

by steady stealth of dusk furtively

escorting a peremptory night where

days become shorter and lengthy

nights ascendant. Wildflowers 

alert to the inevitable are fading

while bees become frantic in their

search to harvest waning pollen

and nectar from perishing plants.
