Autumn again

Wonder has gone, replaced
 
With regret, and I miss it
 
Miss the little surprises
 
Happy sparkles
 
Unbridled glee
 
Captive joy
 
If I promised to give you all
 
Will you give me one day
 
No fear, lights unthreatening
 
Hope teeming, faith reborn
 
Tell me what I have to do, and
 
Maybe it's not true, the old
Story about an old dog
 
New tricks
 
September, when it feels like Spring
 
Tingling in every pore
 
New green, growth, not a thought
 
To impending frost
 
That day-month-year-
 
Worth all of it
 
To once feel at home.
