No Need to Be Strong

Overnight is a fall poem, an autumn poem and a celebration of trees and their wonderful grace, beauty, and strength. Changing weather, wind, rain, and the onset of winter, falling leaves, fresh buds, and clear blue skies…

our hands folded, our arms no longer reaching,
between us, a bowl of summer rain.
