Autumn


Twilight, taking a walk

In my little garden

I inhale the fragrant air.


Calm of nature

Saturates my being

I am at peace.


A bird sings

Making me smile

I close my eyes.


Memories explode

On the curtain

Of my retina.


Some have vibrant hues

red, orange, yellow, bright blue

Of uplifting emotions.


Others are brown

Muddy black- holes of

Stark, dark negativity.


Like multiple shades

Of the leaves in fall

They all enriched my life.


I try to visualise

But the future

Remains unseen .


The clean grey slate

Is waiting for the

Writings of time.


Only the present is mine

In this moment, I'm here

Sitting on the chair, I breathe.
