Barker's tree

i was walking down the street

rounded the bend

and "oh my goodness"

later i had to bring sweetie

we agreed...it was at it's peak

the tree could get no more beautiful

such amazing glorious color...

so then i stood under those vivid boughs

"Behold congenial Autumn comes,

the Sabbath of the Year."

-  John Logan, 1748 - 1788

and I have to admit

the beauty of it all

the damp fragrance

the longing for this singular experience to linger

blessed by another Autumn

and poor Mr. John Logan only lived to be forty years old. i wonder at that. still, after these many years today he is quoted. Mr. John Logan, i wish for one more month of Autumn.
