The Answer
by E.W. Richardson

What is the texture of an autumn sky?
A single glance gave me the answer.
I found the answer in her eyes,

Where long lashes served to clarify
The stunning light and wonder…
What is the texture of an autumn sky?

Both wake up kiss and lullaby,
It can catch a breath with its power.
I found the answer in her eyes,

To why at night my soul would cry
For something other than longing's whisper…
What is the texture of an autumn sky?

Silken mists of an angel’s sigh,
It promises both purr and spur.
I found the answer in her eyes,

Though they still delightfully mystify,
And Father Time has become our biographer.
What is the texture of an autumn sky?
I found the answer in her eyes.
