bla bla bla? What is the age at which You cease changing?

the grey press of this moment
teases to blot out the blazing golden

somewhere somebody feels autumnal
weighing the human mood for resilience

some diagnose it obvious depression
or even more loveless: ennui

yet — a faint query offers as life buoy:
Do these leaf deaths drain souls too
of color
or might the bare stabbing branch
hint at opportunity

the real danger at the moment
is disengagement
it is like accumulated insight
insufficiently softened by love

“Never eschew apropo suffering…”
— the precious inward whisper proposes
