Ingathering
The ingathering is come, procession now completes
Wandering stars align, as the autumn equinox is meet
A wise man utters a word, like golden fruit in a silver tree
Far better than dreams and magic, soothing to the soul are these
A time of a new season, to pluck up and to gather
Beautiful leaves falling among sounds of love and laughter
Scarlet and gold, resemble our lives, colored with as we age
Joy abounding or sadness is gained from our seeds that we lay
Briefly drifting to the ground, the fading colors fall
On upward courses the spirit of man to his coming home
I really like this poem. The
I really like this poem. The autumnal imagery is deployed in a way that is not just merely read, but is also felt---in the soul, and in the gut. As a child, I always enjoyed Autumn, and this poem remminded me of those memories. I also enjoyed the rhyme scheme, although the last stanza tossed it away, and I think you could write a better version of that last stanza. But, overall, this poem has been a great reading experience.
