AUTUMN

The month of dancing leaves

They say that only birds do fly

But dancing leaves have wings

With the wind as their platform

They twist about in rhythm

They glide along in waltz-doing the jitterbug

They twirl in slender shapes

Until they reach at last

Their place of repose on which

They form a bed of rainbow-

Multi-colored leaves painting

Anew the world in season’s partial

Oh how I love these simple

Majestic changes which give newly

Facial expressions and rebirths

To earth and world as we live it

Written in 1990s
