Scintillas of magic

could be felt on the buxom breeze.

Last drops of summer’s

weighted humidity dissipating

in autumn’s cool honeyed crispness.

Spotting a large-winged bird in flight

gives me hope.

Amidst the jarring change,

this small-boned creature

with incredible span

manages to soar elegantly

and undeterred.

I, too, will glide.

Perseveringly and contentedly.
