Breathe
in the day
earth and subtle drops
would-be dew in the air
no matter
how cold
at the tip of the nose
the mind remains
warm and cozy
alert and coiled
systolic beat
shuffling feet
crisp leaves ripe
for tinder
in underbrush
kindled
the sound of souls
wanders
wonders
the good earth
so much life
in a day

This evokes the thrums and strains of a bright fall day spent exploring.
Yes! Your description is lovely – thrums and strains – strums and refrains – all of that! Thank you for commenting.
