Framework in Fall

My heart knows that it is fall when my senses tell me how

Air becomes bound to the earth like lovers entwined in the

most sweetest and deepest of emotions

and that sensation overtakes everything

When reunions are dappled in light that is gold

And framed in hues of brilliant vermillion, the most delicate

shades of purple so heartbreakingly

lovely as everything looks like a sunset all season long

Heaven is no further away than handshakes and hugs

Scents of spice and wafts of smoke

            the fall is as much of a promise of colder things

            as it is a promise of better and older things
