Beginning To Forever

I sit now here

in the quiet alone

Watching the leaves

holding on to October

tight to their branches

Dancing on the wind

in fugue Autumn sunshine

Confusing my eyes

which cannot seem to fix

I hear

the cars and trucks

on the highway

The voices jabbering

on the bike path

Coming and going and

going and coming

to and from and staying

No where

And I sit now here

beginning to forever
