Saucy chipmunks belt out fall proclamations
Migrating blue jays announce their place in the world
Tree crickets trill nocturnal melodies into the wee hours
Handsome trigs' sweet staccato punctuates the day
Ruby-throats threaten and feud in restless frenzy
Bumblebees burrow down deep into orange jewelweed blooms
Sassafras' first leaves blush into crimson
Butter-yellow black walnut trees loosen their grip
Indian grass blankets the field in bronze
Mistflower billows into fuzzy blue clouds
Amid the social order's slow crumbling
the Holy lives among us.
