Autumn <br />invades the garden <br /> <br />paints(regardless) <br />evertything in moonlight <br /> <br />the cat perched <br />in the tree <br /> <br />the owl stuck <br />to the ground <br /> <br />the lovers(hidden <br />just out of sight) <br /> <br />kissing good night <br /> <br />even their words <br />silver with longing <br /> <br />even the silence. <br /> <br />Autumn moves on <br />(like a graffitti artist <br />with a can of moonlight in its hand) <br /> <br />... to the next garden.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/autumn-was-here/
