Flames of Fall

Yes it's exciting sometimes, and then it becomes overwhelming all over again. Maybe let's take it easy, sometimes all we need are the wings of leaves, maple and cider :)))

Within these cerulean welkin that surround us

Is it possible to spend days and nights without fuss?

The ambition and zeal might be at the zenith of time

But how palpable are these, substantial or mimes?

A thousand things we wish to do and savour

But is rest inactivity or to our minds a favour

That the clock is ticking and the metamorphosis pronto

Lucid when one gets over it’s just a spree of hopping into

This uncertainty of a quagmire that embellishes us

The refulgence of the Auroras that are so delirious

The crackle of yellow leaves that adorn the streets

As a spring song so subtle, yet subduing the kohinoor antiques

For sure the road is tough, dusty, snowy maybe meandering

Yet the sun always rises, with squirrels and birds bantering

With glaring hope and ecstasy that this new day brings

Can we move mountains? Let’s appreciate its hymns

In a world where bumblebees defy the physics of flight

Let’s remind ourselves that glory is always making those flames ignite

Whether they scintillate or diminish or they douse with the night

The flames also know; dream! for grief is interim but hope is infinite…
