Late on a cool fall night
while sitting on the river bank
I noticed how the ripples
cast a different texture to the setting sun
The colors of the sky
just right for this season
Red, orange, yellow, purple even a tinge of blue
The river seems to mix them
like a kaleidoscope
Seems there is no end to beauty
as this endless array goes on and on
Then the distant sound of the frogs and crickets
keeping time to this dancing spectacular
Then my heart goes quiet
my pulse slows down
I lay back to thank my maker
