Autumn Lapse by Hugo van Staden
Pause
Momentum slows
Of everything that grows
Repose
Time to reflect, let go
Diminished life flow
Leaves
Vibrant colour contrasts
Below naked trees
Breezes
Stirs, cold sharp sighs
White frost, black bark
Stark
Forlorn lonely lights
Silhouette silent landscapes
Slumber
Still, the night quickens
Hushed smothered sounds
Waiting
Thin smoke spirals
For the winter is near
