Good morning everyone.


Song


Tho' veiled in spires of myrtle-wreath,
Love is a sword that cuts its sheath,
And thro' the clefts, itself has made,
We spy the flashes of the Blade !
But thro' the clefts, itself has made,
We likewise see Love's flashing blade,
By rust consumed or snapt in twain:
And only Hilt and Stump remain.


By: Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Champagne Days of Autumn
 
  The champagne days of autumn
Bubble up in golden swirls
Cold and crisp, teasing the palate
With pleasing memories
Of romping in piles of burnished leaves
And watching the maple tree send
Red memos down to earth.

The smoky smells of autumn
Etch my autumn memories.
Nights like splashes of cold water,
Moonbeams gold-plating the treetops,
Frost-coated pumpkins waiting in the field
For purpose in their life
Leave anticipation over what happens next.

I drink in cold air.
It tastes like a good whiskey
And sears my lungs.
I turn my face toward stars
Scattered like leaves across the sky
And offer a prayer of thanksgiving
For autumn.
