Fall balance

I am still looking for balance.  The brain only compensates for so much.  This morning through the rain I see the sugar maples have turned.  In the gray and the rain the contrast is striking.  As I write this the sun comes out for a spell.  There is balance here too.

The sugar maples turned overnight.
They must have known the autumnal equinox
Came and went
Last week.
They had to catch up
Quickly,
Show the gray and rain
A thing or two.
The burning bush outside my office window
Shows red
Through the left eye blur.
Rain and gray seem right
Today.
The sugar maples too,
The burning bush.
The left and right are held in tension
The color in focus, in blur,
They show the rain and gray
A thing or two.
They think there might be balance
Somewhere.
