it doesn’t happen in winter
the world goes from light to black so fast,
I don’t expect it even though it comes the same each day
No colors when the sun goes down-
flip a switch- turn off the light and go home-
party’s over.
Solid, complete dark.
Stars gone, moon away- behind clouds.
Seems like they’re on vacation
or banished
Trees stray into the road
menacing warning danger in unseen places between them.
The road leading anywhere, to doom, gloom-
or off the face of the earth.

But in the fall, and in the summer
that sweet hour between the day and the nighttime
full of clues and mystery
and sorrow and wonder
It happens every time, that strange intense glow
that seems to hold so much inside its amber grains
and tawny streaks of bloom
I try to see into its secrets
but end up awash in no revealed truth, only memories of stories and bits of lore
almost forgotten and muted in my psyche
Hawthorne and Thoreau invade my senses and I am blissfully caught between
reality and romance and they’re no more real than the fleeting colors of the light.
The earth prepares me for dreams, if I will let it.
