the crunch of leaves,
her laugh
a reason for love

autumn chill
leaves crunch under
my warm boots

burnt wood
the feeling of warmth
in the body and mind

fall temperatures
sitting closely
at the fireside

clicking needles
the yarn
pulls at my thoughts

wondering about
space
in my mind

colorful blossoms
an infant's
renewal of sins

stained glass
telling tales of old
ethereal glow

attic fan
smell of fall
scents my tea

remembering Nona dance in the kitchen
through her old recipe
for garlic bread

the first spring
our Christmas lights
still lit

the start of fall
qudditch teams prepare
for first match
