Autumn in Oklahoma
He starts out small,
like so many changes,
dabbing tiny brushes of scarlet
and thin touches of tangerine,
barely there, peeking out
from behind the green.
He then with bolder stroke,
etches the redbud in royal robe
and crowns cottonwoods
with a golden glory,
jeweled by birds in a singing
palette from his vast inventory.
He paints the days
with a warm caress, Indian
summer, and we are blessed
with ripe fruition
as art and music, immerse
us in divine composition.
