   The Bliss of Zen

While leaves  fall and
shadows lengthen,
a giant mystic-yellow
moon floats the far
eastern star horizon;
and the delicious scent
of wood smoke from
the town below dances
with a spectral mist
in the chill evening
  breeze,
as Autumn spreads
silently across a
thousand miles of
‘endless’ forest hills.
Here  in the ‘now’
there is nothing to
  grasp for
but the truth of
nature, self, life,
and great love
that conquers all
  indifference.
This is the eternal
   bliss of Zen.

Fall is truly the "Zen" season.
