Autumn Walk
It has been a long walk,
over the mountain ridge
and along the valley
ripe with Autumns harvest,
a long walk in the October cold,
where frost still lies on the shadowed grass,
and the warming sunlight
lies forever outside your grasp,
the clouds shifting with winds
beyond your reach,
to a place you can see,
but can never feel.

Hi Tom,
This seems rather melancholy; things always beyond reach rather than able to be enjoyed.
