Autumnal Equinox

Image

This day has brought turbulence

to the atmosphere of the forest, its

creek streaming wildly through

the ravine turbid and swollen with

woody debris washed from the

forest canopy in a furious sweep

of wild wind screaming through

tree masts bent in a macabre

dance bringing death to some

split from trunks, victims of a

changing season. Of sturm und drang

there is ample for nature adores a

tone poem in her honour and she has

ordered her elements to scrub and

burnish the landscape for the

occasion. Torrents of rain artfully

varnish the glowing green landscape

as it stands bowed but beautiful, an

ethereal luminosity radiating within.
