rests in simple fantasy
interwoven in seasons
festive with solemn cycle.
The downward spiral
renews the aged seed.
The apple is reborn
and will be borne again
to test and taunt
a new generation.
Wilderness cools
and settles in calm warmth.
With a furtive gesture,
it rests upon the edge
of season

ready
to renew once more
the shift
from upward grace
to downward regeneration.
