Art sent by Annette, thank you!
The autumn air is clear,
The autumn moon is bright.
Fallen leaves gather and scatter,
The jackdaw perches and starts anew.
We think of each other- when will we meet?
This hour, this night, my feelings are hard
~ Li Bai.
Autumn seems a long way
From thoughts that play
of lark and cherry tree
Colored theme
Time spent by the sea
Children laughing merrily
Young people sharing
Warmth of summer
Youth once was mine,
the memories grow dimer
Seasons come in life's merry chase
Bracing self
Against winter's embrace
I travel where no man goes
Riddled with hurdles
Determined to overcome
Autumn pumpkins scattered
On the ground
Harvest to gather all around
I'll abide ... with Li Bai
As I stride
feelings renewed,
I have lived life.
