Essence of Autumnal Equinox

Aesthetics underlying the universe drive
Celestial clockwork, uninterrupted.
The crossing sun balances
Light with darkness; Regulated,
Constant, silent - unknowingly shared.

Unique, familiar hues
Overlay nature's foundation
On ancient canvas;
Sweet scents of succession
The birds seem to know.

Echoing tones renew simple themes.
Passive acoustics alter the ambience.
Chaos predetermined
Reveals the procession
Marching deeper into eternity.

In hemispheric justice,
An undying continuity
Somehow reminds of mortality.
Ritual roles of an equinox past
Reflect new faces, now matured.

Warmth and chill mix the air;
Winter's rage spurns Summer's comfort.
Whispering together, they dance a slow exchange.
Yesterday's paths have faded,
To hide forever or find again.
