Autumn Days

I walk this path through mystic morning haze
When damp of earth meets tumbling paper leaf
The crimson sails and golden yellow page
Drop down through sentimental mists of grief
To pathways through the autumn of my age

So heavy laden are these leaves with tears
The parchments once were brilliant dancing wings
So finely scrolled with verses through the years
Now empty withered leaves swirl round in rings
As rainbow colored poems have disappeared

Dare I step once again on "Poets Way"?
May I again embrace a poet pen?
Will sorrow grant me just this autumn day
To write some glorious verses once again
On gold and crimson leaves in fall array

And will my words on paper leaf sail light
And settle on the path in colors bright

And will my words on paper leaf sail light
And settle on the path in colors bright

They will Liz, believe me...

Elizabeth,
Need I say we make the day.
Need I say we make the night.
Need I say we make our way.
Need I say of wrong or right.

You were born with beauty
and are beautiful.
As is the poem.
Love Sy

I'm grabbing my hat and coat
I'm leaving the cat a note
Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town!
