fleeting

colonial past
a pristine civilization
feels spiritual
.....................
a falling apple
could transform posterity
a fleeting moment
...............................
a conquered country
had to lose the kohinoor *
to fleeting beauty
.............................
caressed by lightning
the effect devastating
momentary life
....................

autumn

the summer is gone
autumn's not in denial
of what is to come
............................
play come september #
just return the old freedoms
this the world deserves
...........................
inseparable
the leaves console the branches
look beyond winter
..............................
for van gogh could see
the fall in a sun rising
golden perceptions!

# theme from a '60s movie

seeds

imaginative
seeds pierce the wilderness
would wild willows weep*
............................
seed of compassion
an eternity flower
and a crown of thorns
..........................
with ordinary seeds
the elements interact
breathtaking blossoms

..........................

defenses down

always circumspect
contemplating a checkmate
wily politics
...............
looming thunderheads
the trees silently wonder
when will lightning strike
