the blush of autumn
now long gone, a quiet grace
takes its turn in time –
through creaky bones, a knowing –
like spring vines set to run wild

pieces of my life
on bits of paper mingle
with the coins
in my pocket – the poem
continues to elude me
Defy
synonym: elude
Change
synonym: coins
a matter of faith –
came to trust subtle nudges,
though mystifying
this thing that guides me, at times
so hands on, captivating

deep in each note, a life’s tale
playing from the soul, a gem
