Aspen Trees
Gently auburn hued autumn air
Gold smudges in paintbrush stroke
Dappled on steep mountain sides
Speckled with tall green pines
Groves of bright gilded aspens
Silent in the cool crisp of fall
Waiting for the first frost to come
Time slowing down to stop
Quivering silver black bark
Thousand Buttery yellow leaves
In moist, crumbling black soil;
Rich and dark, damp humus
Trunks trembling in the breeze
Thin shards of golden ore
Fluttering softly in the wind.
