the pregnant pause

light of knowing - mjd 2013

a season that blazes 
to catch our attention

encouraging -
no, demanding -
mindfulness 

a pregnant pause

between death

and the secret life that dwells
in an acorn.

we bear witness 

to balance

and impermanence.

does the chill air that physically wakes us
after the warm breezes of summer

force us to 

rediscover

remember

or just deeply know?

it is
with a sigh
that moves through the upturned
corners of your mouth,

the knowing 
that is 
coupled
with quivering joy

that the path is lit.

  2. Very cryptic. Funny, I equate death with winter. The fall exudes the happy abandon we can enjoy on our path to winter. The color of whirling leaves....an exciting time. Yup....no death in the autumn for me!!

    Love ya!!
