“Autumn Return” by Rebecca Guile Hudson

In a beautiful rain, the trees
return their share of blue
Into the autumn air,
Back to the sky,

To reveal the gold and yellow sunshine
Hidden in their leaves

The rivers rise

In a beautiful rain, i
Float upon the pulsing winds
My liquid wings
Shine,
Iridescence reflected
To the stars

As branches bare
Their souls to approaching winter

And all the rivers
Rise
