Profound, beautiful, and much-needed call to think on eternal things that will remain steadfast as everything in our society seems to pull us toward the superficial & divisive. Thank you—I needed this reminder today!
Brings me memories that f growing up in the Midwest. I loved the fall leaves, the apple orchards and the crispness in the air. Thank you for stirring up these memories for me.
Catching up on past posts. ‘All Souls’ prompts me to say that, certainly among other things, you’re a poet of stillness. Deep stillness. And alive in the bright page, indeed.

I don't like reading poetry on my phone, it's just not the right place, but this is gorgeous.
Beautiful
I got really pulled into this. Your description is quite engaging! Thanks for sharing this.
Such beautiful imagery and so many great lines, but I particularly loved the mental picture "the window
an altar
for my eyes." gave me... That is such a wonderful way to present that.
Lovely images. warped view of a tree still heavy with leaves, a flame flaring out.

The art of seeing is so important in this poetry! A simple blessing that most of us use only fitfully.
Thanks, Joseph, for this beautiful poem.
Beautiful evocation of autumn, my favorite time of year.
