Autumn

Yay...new stuff. It's been awhile for me...

The autumn has come upon us

A chill creeps up on the earth

And things begin to change

The most contemplative of seasons

Toys with our hearts and minds

When we are stuck at the the end of a split pathway

On a windy late afternoon

Who knows where we are supposed to go?

The whispers in the trees fill our ears with lies

And memories only half-shattered by time

Our hopes crash down--nay, float in the air

Like leaves, gently to the ground

The autumn reminds me of a day

When it was me and only me, you and only you

A day when things were so much simpler

I could say "hi", and it meant nothing more

A day when I was so hopelessly lost

And yet, I always found my way home

These things are invisible to me

Until the summer reaches its end.

This is wonderful, the beauty of autumn tied in with memories of other times, when things were not so complicated. This is a really outstanding poem.

[Kesav Easwaran]

The ending of Summer in life is the begining of its Autumn...unlike seasons, life doesn't find a spring, once again, through a transition-winter...a nice muse over the autumn impending
