Autumn
\nHaiku and Other Poems<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

“What will people
\nthink?” says the Autumn, “that’s a question I never ask.<\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/font>\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

This fear of change \/ can be
\ncured if one would but look  \/ into
\nautumn’s eyes<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

Autumn’s crimson gold \/
\nrivers within you and me \/ and so does the spring<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/font>\"\"<\/p>\n

I take autumn’s hand \/ I
\nthink we might go dancing \/ into the blue sky<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/font>\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

This dance of letting go \/
\nthis parading of change \/ these tears will not stop<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

Wishing means nothing \/ when
\nautumn pulls you away \/ into crimson streams<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/font>\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

Dear Autumn Crickets \/
\nyou’re breaking my fragile heart \/ my prayers are with you<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/font>\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

Warm apple cider \/ streaming
\nits way within me \/ filling me with Fall<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/font>\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

Autumn leaves me drunk \/ its
\ndeep red and golden wine \/ how can I not swoon?<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/font>\"\"<\/p>\n

The autumn whispers: \/ release
\nyourself into me \/ and find your way home<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

Who can blame me now? \/
\nautumn in her golden dress \/ makes me want to dance<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

The truth within autumn’s
\nbeauty: We must all let go into the wind.<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/font>\"\"<\/p>\n
