Autumn Sparks



Eye-opener-top-of-the-morning!
Year-end's stylish approach
This season's reddening-yellows are
All the rage and something to watch...
Smooth operator, flashing, rain splashing!
Bearing in wise pardonless fashion
I am sucker-punched by the Fall...

Looking around, the world shifted gears
So much in minutiae, and I'm...simply breathing
Wind-chill of October's discrete silhouette...

Few more and on foot, smiling to people
Far from polite, but feeling is great!
And in such a state discovering grounds
Of Gentle Lady's autumn estates
Catching her soul-warming glimpses...

Time for some sleep, nature is yawning
It's been a good year, and I'll see you soon
When people allegedly wiser,
Still walking the earth, howling to moon
Touched by the spark of the annum,
Steered by ergodic incentive of soul
Ever attentive and blind in essence

To grandiose canvass of place be called World...
