For Dave ~

i turned from the mirror
eyes seeing through my window
and he sat
on the curb
observing his shoes
with great consentration
i wondered at the man
his air was of youth
yet his hair laced grey
in his hand
he held a leaf
and i watched
as he let go of his shoes
and observed the color
autumn's gift to him
and i knew
he knew
the tree that had granted him
this treasure
caring hands held it high
and the sharp fall sun
lit it for me to see
a shadow grew close
the chill i know so well
i held a hand high
and held the shadow at bay
at least for this moment
as the sun turned
the man's face to the boy
for this day
