The yellow canopy

The yellow canopy
over my yard
the branches of the neighbors
treasures soon to fall
the yard will need raking
the leaves to gather in
but for now, this moment
a treasure to see
The yellow canopy
over my yard
bright calling
to me, to look up
the filtering light
the azure blue sky
the radiance, the brilliant
a wonder to my eye
