Face stubble burned into the smoky haze
The slate cloud confusion in autumn heavens
Red sky in the morning gives warning
Of tears upon this day
This will once again cause growth
Learned from unlearned to cultivate
The back then the forth
From love seeds are planted
Long ago and again this night
The bounty promise of high yield
Thanks be to all that is thee

In music we have chord progressions called cadences. Each cadence solves a particular musical problem or creates a link to the next musical passage. The two chords that create the " amen" at the end of a hymn is an example of a cadence that provides resolution. This poem is like that iv-i cadence - the plagal amen.
Because some have asked this poem is all about change and friendship and understanding and the celebration of differences.
