crossing the
speedway
one brave snail

clouded by
falling leaves
the Autumn moon

while I talk to
the twilight forest
falling leaves

Ancient oak grove
the sound of
acorn rain

deep in the Autumn
forest calm
one red leaf
surfs the mountain
    stream

Sad and lonely
the Autumn dusk

gently dripping dew
and spider webs
jewels of the
morning star

Autumn evening chill
this wayward wanderer
surprised by the moon

sad beauty
the last falling
leaf of Autumn

awake or a dream
the beautiful stranger
by moonlight

deep Autumn
night bird song
the music of heaven

Moonlit forest
so many pathways
to choose
through Autumn
    leaves


Rainbow leaves
beneath a cloudy
Autumn sky
change everywhere
in the wind

crimson oak leaves
dance against a
deep  azure sky
pure Autumn joy

though youth and joy
are lost to the waking
   world
we are still children
in our dreams

... or:

though time and youth
   are fleeting
we are still children
in our memories and
     dreams

Zen 'Romanticism':

your love
has lowered
the drawbridge
of my heart

Wrapped in the
comforter of
your love
I shall laugh at
the Winter chill

my dream
is your kiss
in the Summer
  rain

Autumn is a very inspiring time )

Love your poem, especially these lines:

"Wrapped in the
comforter of
your love
I shall laugh at
the Winter chill
my dream
is your kiss
in the Summer
rain"

It's so true!

Although I enjoyed it all~~ this spoke to me. Now if it would just stop raining so I can enjoy the changing colors before they all fall from the trees.
