The Earthly Carrier

Silence holds me in her arms,

while autumn shows me all her charms,

starting with small moistened leaves —

so sudden on the ground as thieves.

In the night they, inconspicuous,

shift their position — which obvious

changed their features too,

which seem now quite opposed to

all which once shone fresh and lush.

Transformed itself in somewhat slush,

appearances quite undefined,

mirroring us — undeniable — the kind

of metamorphosis we too will undergo.

For our earthly carrier will show

she’s part too of eternal life, so will

undeniably ‘end’ – which still

remains hard to imagine here for you

and now, where the Life-force is still so true

and seems a loyal companion — who, without

a sound, delivers… never a ‘soldout’.
