season in between

i amble around ripe prairie loop

(adjacent to alma mater campus)

fall breeze ushers clouds in early.

no geese migrating overhead yet

but late monarchs linger on golden

ox-eye, heavy stems wave goodbye

to summer …a fleeting reminder to

many (any) observant pilgrims who

walk this way that all of life is sacred.

Linking to dVerse poets where Bjorn hosts poetry on theme of “non-religious” pilgrimage…is there such a thing?
