Ships of fallen leaves..

Muse of Autumn
Have you seen these fallen ships of leaves
sailing on shifting starlight
on the way to your golden shores.

See how they are filled with Autumn's gifts -
Basket full of sweet fruit
Others filled with harvest grain & heather
even
Barrels full of grapes, waiting to become wine -
Ah yes , Each of them spreads your sweet autumn scents.

Muse of August
Let me taste the last summery dewdrops
Embrace my soul with your amber-oceanic light
While I rest in the beauty of blooming cornfields.

Solar eclipse...

Through the decades
The human being has wondered
Been an object of much speculation
Songs, myths, stories & poems
Created as a tribute
- Now - just one more advertised circus show..
