fall arrived
hardly noticed
world upside down

but fall knows
not of fallen towers
it comes
on time

the leaves on
the trees
still fall

the moon
will rise
big orange ball

air comes cool
hot santa ana winds
a little of both
you never know

dear season fall
a constant
in this time
of confusion

falling falling
falling down
twisting, twirling
natures song

like leaves from
one great tree
we tumble
and fall

carried on winds
rustling thru
empty streets

the sound
like a chorus
love this land
love each other
we are one

joycee
