Summer wanes humbly
Autumn crawls in with fanfare
Soul feels nature’s pulse

Autumn’s vibrant letting go eases hearts
And bespeaks release from shackles of strife
Foolishly revered on vile social ramparts.
Though rubbish, strife hinders good will in life.

These days humankind breathes a collective sigh
And gives good-natured hearts free rein worldwide,
To dance once more just like a butterfly,
Rapt with joy, on summer’s flowered hillside.

Cast not aside mindful twilight thinkers,
Night owls who ruminate, burn midnight oil,
For life’s journey requires dream weavers
To help alleviate life’s mortal coil.
