A Wet Year Changes
The trees are still green.
Off in the distance I can see the red changes in the colors of a small
tree and the orange changes of a small bush.
This year was slow in the fall change.
The sap knows that it is time to go below the earth.
The convoy of fluids that must go below the earth before the hard cold
air freezes the outside bark of our trees.
This is the time for the green to depart and the bright reds,
oranges and yellows to cover the gray and rustic brown trees.
The white ghosts are dancing around the lavender mums.
The pumpkins are gathering faces and the corn is standing dry in fields.
