Poem
Leafraker, was deep and insightful Though through his woe, one can be spiteful To drag his body from the depths And succeed beyond that of the flesh So, too he joins in mans defeat and the dawn of anew Grasping hold of the light as darkness acts in que The autumn leaves are a sign of a coming winter But hark in the coming joy! For with earths fire is tinder A conclusion, climax, end, and final adieu Speaks of the history of a separate story starting like you Birth! From the great mother, her bosom springing A new species adjusted like Darwin’s singing! The dead leaves shrivel and crumple underfoot! But so to fire creates ash to pock grainy soot As prelude does not one enjoy the coming of? The brining about that comes from action and love? The love of the here and now as Joseph Campbell spoke Eternity exists with every now provoked The fields of leaves abound ever acre in scores but all creatures must attend to this for more Whether hiding from beast or building an empire with decay Others growing underneath battling the colds parley A party exists for what gain? Only to happen again and again Composer’s notes yield a pause only and refrain The leafraker is a symbol of change my friend A semblance of the spring of that’s is rapture like the wind I say to you under starry sky tonight Focus on what you can attain with every flicker of the light But do not sadden when your book is at an end Look to the new world that exists in your mind to begin Spark! The light does reign in but wobble under a black hole So too does the leafraker as new seasons take hold Speak to me? For when it is spoken it came into being! --10/18/08 in response to stimuli
