An old man
Just up the hill
Is writing a poem
To the Autumn moon

Even this late
As leaves rustle
Their last farewells
He dwells on her

Who rises
Still and slowly passes
Across his own horizon

In an air
Not as yet too cold

He hears the notes
Of a wooden flute
Being played

and the gift is in hearing...
and the warmth of her, her touch, her belief, her impact on everyone whose known her...in the old man's heart, he is young again, upon visitation to this place...
this vision...

Lovely
