dear God about the seasons

I see red back there
the colors turn

I guess
the last spell
coldish
helped

the sky is blue-gray and bright

there are green leaves
in shade

pre-fall then
and beautiful
for
what it is
plus reminding to us all here
up here
what is to come

while in Australia
and
New Zealand
it is
changing
well
symbolically from white
to green

and of these
the season-tones
I have
I
should gift-thank-you
and
I do

while thanking
and
respecting
of the people
way down
south
as I must think of these

down
while I am up
and
it would be just
to have an upside-
down
globe
to have the downside up
and become
the normal
up
regarding our perceptions

let south be north
for a while
