.


Today I will think
Of autumn leaves
Oak red and orange
Falling in hope
Of finally touching her hair

The sun which because
It can not say her name
Expressing with light
How it feels

I will muse on squirrels
That know they’ll make her smile
And laugh as they leap with little hops
Gathering acorns from the ground

Blue skies and white clouds
Sea stars and snowy moon
But most of all that she is here

Another most pleasant impression with a
special minimalistic touch of fine Romanticism!

I am particularly fond of the image
juxtaposition:

“Sea stars and snowy moon”

AND:

“…Autumn leaves
Oak red and orange
Falling in hope
Of … touching her hair”

v. serious applause!!
