Terra Cotta Embers

Terra Cotta Embers

A Poem by SyberRose
"

Painting by Ann Mortimer

"


The citrus scent of mandarin orange

intoxicates the last days of summer,

and sweet perfume of night blooming jasmine

awakens when the sun goes down~

 

 Corn fields now beneath the autumnal moon

            are covered in scarlet and gold,

and the scent of terra cotta embers

            wafting within the crispness of the wind~

 

And as the yellow pendant of the sun

             peeks through the scope of the morn,

smoldering leaves brightly shimmer

            like fireflies in the night~

 

And wild songbirds reverberate

autumns requiem song.

This reminds me when I was still in East Coast in New York, the scenery you'd painted well and autumn whisper melodious to hear.
