Autumnal Still: Life
The pine cones, ripped away from their branches,
the wax candle, ready to be lit,
and the sugar pumpkin, tempting small animals
with its sweet nutrition
all rest in silent beauty
as the north wind
releases its fury
upon their stoic forms.
Do they have souls?
They each seem confident
in their positions placed;
so they sit, unknowing
of the possibilities, ready to burst
from hardened structures
that protect their divine essences.
