Sitting inside a landscape
of reinforcing light and color
north woods flickering into flame
inexorable its daily spread
blazing through stands of maple
torched treetops of orange, red
on canvas of forest fabric
shifting angles of slanted light
dazzling, diffused, refracted
through myriad leaf filters
stoking up, unleashing
the brilliant fires of autumn
time now to step outside the frame
before this beauty sears my soul.
