In the melancholy end of the summer
the leaves begin to blush
and the petals of petunias
are no longer pink and plush
ginger hues and leaves of tawny
paints the season with earths brush
naked branches shed their glory
a candelabrum to the stars
panorama beauty of autumn
becomes spellbinding in the wind
sweeter then the fruit of a kumquat
in Hawaiian Islands pagoda inns
rejoice in the burnt leaves of terra cotta
and the crackling of autumns sonata


Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul.
Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.
