Dance of Autumn Leaves
Carefully crafted the third season
of deciduous trees and leaves
gently swaying and basking in
sunlight amidst a back drop blue sky
the autumnal equinox staves off the winter solstice
taking joy in all the colorful hues
of browns and golds, deep reds and ambers
as it waves goodbye to Summers bliss
and now awaits the first leaf - must fall
and to the world - Autumn, Autumn, Autumn it must call
feel the breeze whip around the bark
Autumn winds crisp and stark
and so the leaves dance and play
to the winds song that has travelled afar
beyond the north as we know it
to revel in this beautious season
though at first glance one sees the season
as one dying as it lays and dry upon the ground
and we see not, we feel not the life that might be emerging
only seeing the browns and golds, deep reds and ambers
and now awaits the first leaf - must fall
and to the world - Autumn, Autumn, Autumn it must call
feel the breeze whip around the bark
Autumn winds crisp and stark
strange it seems, this change of season
that bursts into colors beyond our senses
silhouettes and shades that cast it's shadows
sprinkled beween stark limbs soon to be naked
unremembered sleep of Autumn wrestling with
the nearing of winters cry - yet but a snap
of time that passes this way all to quickly
artfully and splendidly crafted color
and now awaits the first leaf - must fall
and to the world - Autumn, Autumn, Autumn it must call
feel the breeze whip around the bark
Autumn winds crisp and stark
and so this dance of Autumn soon must end all but too quickly
as autumn's quilt lies silent on the ground beneath
the great trees, the teller of time
and bid the north winds song of frolic goodbye.....

TWIGHLIGHT...
Twighlight comes in mornings hour
and meets again in the eve
when time has passed and dif-fus -ed light
reflected below the suns horizon
as evening light falls accross the lake
and dusk ushers the twighlight glow
as sillohettes form on the fields
tall beings with many limbs and fingers
bow at the close of day and greet the
mist that settles in between the intervals
of space and tim,e so faint the light
that begs the onset of mystery
perceiv-ed illumination shaded and obscure
at days end and yet I see with clear mind
and clarity the truth that is blinded by the
bewitching hour of the shadows that often
lay in wait and lurk and want for the cracks
in youth's mind to bend and weild and shape
for the misdeeds that twighlights hour did
not give rise nor permission
For twighlight offered many truths of
what the stars decree - so who can live
with one foot in darkness and one in light?
and poor the spirits that enjoy the mocking
and see not the darkness' entrapment but
wise the owl that sees acutely and lives to
tell the tale of twighlight and forewarns
the other creatures who enter into
twightlights grandeur of rooms that walk
beneath the green gums and stay on the well
trodden path of what hovers between the
day and night
Can sunshine fade from a loving heart?
can dusk fall and grapple with the mind?
Can evenings fall darken the night sky?
Can man triumph in the twighlight?

I wake.......
I wake
and breath comes with mornings light
the doves coo in the trees
I wake
and breath comes with mornings light
as cool is felt in Autumns breeze
I wake
and breath comes with mornings Light
and life has come to me
I wake
and breath comes with mornings light
of grandeur and possibility
I wake
and breath comes with mornings light
as lifes pulse quickens my heart
I wake
and breath comes with mornings light
for the joy felt at days start

A Maple Autumn
never under-estimate foilage of rich color
the deep reds and purples
nor the oranges that radiate from
deciduous trees in Autumn
joy of seasons change as trees
put on a beautiful display so
cool and clear are the days that
are made even more spectacular
when brilliantly set against a
blue skyas the claret ash with
glossy green leaves in spring
turn to deep claret in Autumns wake
vivid autumn color puts warmth into
our days and give tranquil thought
as leaves fall in Winter and show
your grand structural form
you trunk and branches that said
goodbye to the graceful leafy surround
shade me in in my summer, and
give me my sun in my winter

NEEDLE PINES
Tall green pines slanted
to the years of winds
seasoned ocean breeze
and there falls the
needles of pine that
fall and weep with ease
the needles they gather
upon the soft grassy
slop-ed grounds
until they too change
over time and their
color turned to brown

JOURNEY
regularly I transit this pilgrimage
of not so sacred a place
for this was merely a pleasure trip
through life which I had raced
and saw not the beauty propelled by oceans wind
and felt not the change of season
of this arctic expedition that
should give life its reason
and toured the province of summer
as I felt not the heat of day
and on foot walked through spring
as my mind began to say
from where do all journeys start
and where do they begin?
elect the road most taken as
be taken in by sin
traverse this body of water
that sails through narrow street
aimlessly I compass as
true north it seeks to meet
Will I recognise the destination
as I shortcut through the freeways
or pay the toll that's asked
along life's motorways

SPRING'S LIFE
season of growth, outpouring of winters rest
new life that erupts from trodden soil
that fell from natures breast
September heralds early the unfurling of the green
and bear the pink buds of jasmine
that brings delight and want that must be seen
the warbling praises upon the branches
lift voice in choral unison
to be heard they take their chances
and now I dress in vivid competition
with springs joy and color
to rival winters derelection
quiet the spring that whispers in the air
to silence once the bitter cold of
all of winter's despair
lush scent upon wild color's breeze
thoughtful, serene yet bursting forth
loved displayed with ease
and lovely you are to behold
the green shoot that struggles forth
that thaws to close the door so bold
Spring my ransomed soul
rise from your hiding place and
new life replacing the old
forgive the past that hid you so
beneath the woolen jackets
and enjoy this glorious show
For Springs Life will only play this season
then hibernate once more giving rise to reflect
all of life that questions and begs to reason
So take your rest of beautious intermission
and hold hands on springs night dance without an end
for winters dark, at least for now is placed in secluded remission

WINTER WILDERNESS
One mile away from any road
No sight of any trail
I say goodbye to summer’s love
As winter begins to snow
Province of all that is bleak
Your beauty etched in
Short days and low temperatures
That begs no forgiveness
A concert that heralds & warns
A deathly chill, the left hand of
Darkness that depresses
The mind greater still
And softly falls the snow
That hardens the heart of ice
Snowflakes of rare ice crystal
Elaborate matrix of perfect symmetry
And there on the ground snow
Remains waiting for summer to melt
Only to find winters stain
And glacier of winters’ night

BALMY SUMMER DAYS
hot summer has arrived
crackling thunder breaks and cries
and rolls through the air
warm filled pleasant days
as one lazes and reclines
and with ease reflects and stares
beyond the garden of greenery
and little purple stalks of flower
cooling herself with bamboo fan
thinks of the evening to come
when cool breeze and twinkling lights
fall down on her and her man
Balmy summer days allows the mind
to dream and drift to a wonder world of
imagination that flashes back to summers past
kids playing in the street till after dark
parents drinking laughing around the backyards table
as a game of hide and seek forever lasts
iceblocks and sunnboys all round for girls and boys
fighting over the red and orange tubes of ice
as maddening water fights burst out
and at last kids all soaked and dripping wet
have exhausted all but there last breath
and protest with dropped lip and pout
and now the wind picks up and cool breeze
rises and brings relief for all
so no the kids won't be going to bed
on that summer night they will be dancing
in the summer rain like droplets bouncing
as parents soon join the frey of what the kids have led
balmy summer days of the past
of those days and nights
we wish to relive over and again
but am I too much older and wise
will I watch from a distance the change in sky
or let my guard down and be a child once again

أنا أحبّ أنت مع كلّي قلب
Dedicated to my
own true love my own habibi
of many faithful years
that stems the tide
of loneliness that is oft
found on earths wilderness
Ana Bhvibbak habibi
with imperfect heart
that spring has blossomed
Ana Bhvibbak habibi
sweetly sings the
the nightengale song
Ana Bhvibbak habibi
love with a beginning
that accepts this time
Ana Bhvibbak habibi
that tastes the joys
before the seasons end
.........habibi
...............habibi
