I Fall

I fall
Into autumn~
The silence wakes me.
A Barred Owl call
Lengthens the night--
I chase a Dragonfly.
Moonlight on milkweed -
I walk through 
The circle of stars.
In October's chill
Shadows evaporate
On dog-eared pages.
I hear the wind howling
On it's way
To the sea.
I fill my 
Glass
With moonlight
And dream of 
Shooting stars.
