Autumn Bliss

Red leaves carpet the ground
                    with beautiful softness, as a soft breeze
                             swirls rose petals around a Japanese maiden,
                                             as she plays a flute softly and divinely.

Under a pagoda she plays enchanting tunes,
                             which comfort animals in the woods,
                                         as they prepare for coming winter.

Nearby there's a crystalline pond,
                        reflecting the splendor of autumn
                                   back to the eyes of travelers who doubt
                                              they are experiencing Nirvana in a fraction....

Love it Teddy. Such beautiful images and the shape like a layered landscape that you would see in the Orient. It is all very well written.
