Counting the seasons ...



I can feel the coming of autumn - 

It's as though a brown fragrant hand is touching my shoulder - 

I can smell the rich tipsy smells of windfallen apples - 

Wood smoke perfumes my tweed jacket - 

Leaves are falling from the Alder trees - 

Long shadows are cast upon the lawn - 

The warm air is precious now - 

The river will flood the water meadows - 

The moon will shine upon the white garden - 

The day will come when I'll count the seasons -
