Pecans strewn on copper leaves
Wild geese carve the sky

a half moon perches
in the sycamore's branches

Chasing autumnal light play,
In the Peak twilight.

Signaling first light.

Signaling first light.

Spring is a false dawn
Blinding yellow sun
Attempts to hide the faint moon.
Still, it is present.
