- MA-165 Autumn Stillness
- From
- KVNF
I bask in the golden light of an early autumn afternoon, certain that time will stand still forever, yet I know that light is slipping at its fastest ebb of the year. I sit like a gatekeeper, watching the familiar signs of seasonal change - purple asters, golden leaves in the locus tree, crickets invading the house. I gather the harvest, moving at a frenzied pace in this seasonal stillness, knowing that soon snow will fall like a benediction, and all of the preparations will be over as autumn melds into winter.
