All Colors of Fire

All colors of fire will surround thine eyes
when the forest's great rhythm calleth down
that woodfolk give pause and look to the sky
and take heed.  Mighty Sol's long shadows sound
warning that Dis Pater soon will be 'round.
So shed summer wings as trees shed their leaves,
burrow for safety twixt roots in the ground--
It's Qanik the prize for faeries' conceit,
pridefulness born of when warm days abound--
Leaf litter's littered, mortality found.
