Waking Late

Waking late,
Laid Low
By somnolence
And fateful fatigue,
Rose to see
Sunshine happiness
Dappling from leaf to tree,
Slanting through
Late fuchsia
Sheltered by the wall
Long to be there
Until the first hard frost of Fall.
Autumn now has come to pass
with daisy shades
Of Michaelmas
A patch of purple
By the wall.
