tiny jewels

Rainy. Pine needles on the carpet at work. Pine trees shed their needles in the fall just like the deciduous trees. Turning on the car lights now when going to work and coming home. Most of the leaves on the intensely red burning bush over by production are now gone. The ones that remain look like a string of diamond shaped rubies hanging from the branches. Hundreds of bright red berries also resemble tiny jewels.

Sixty-six times these eyes behold the changing
scenes of Autumn.
I have said enough about moonlight,
ask me no more.
Only listen to the voice of pines and cedars,
when no wind stirs.
