Destined for the hopefulness of dawn, Dewy eyed, mist like tears forced themselves From the corners of sorrowful eyes, resting On the sunrise, briefly elated by the melody – Music in colors, graceful and blazing, Never hesitating behind the guitar’s rhythmic Strumming, the feel of light flowing over Sounds in succulent risings over the eastern winds, Caressing the poignant pines and clasping hands With the oak who melts away sadness and recalls Its words are often retained by the bold Reflections of autumn’s tenderness, Still, cool memories flowing beyond the streams And rivers where melancholy bleeds intimacy Faith breaks away chunks of lasting peace, Embraces the moments in challenging sighs, Murmurs of gentleness feeding off the exasperation Found in the heart who forgets to remember… Life feels best when it is chasing after the rainbows, Forgetting the rain that captures such silence, Erasing the melancholy with its continuous desire To feel the wonder of yesterday’s serenity Freeing the memory, the mind and its collection of breathes, Aching breathes who delve deep into the trembling Pieces of sensitivity, grace who is alive and forever believes, Pours out its praise, its prayers, its promises Onto the spirit who is endlessly filled, undistracted By the hesitant tones – authorizing hope – Dreams of light, healing the darkness, coloring the wind Without regret – autumn changes more than hints of blushing Amber, gold and scarlet, more than the hills and the ridges, More than the sunset’s breathless kiss… Autumn transforms the moments from ecstatic sunrise, To fragile flow of tranquility, glowing in the dim forests, Freeing the heart to know a victory that comes to life Inside those who remember the rocky words, A symphony of hope, clustered by hard thoughts, Melancholic and breathing peace, Yet, furiously failing to break through the needs, Feeding on harvest’s seed, Dimly lit confessions reminding the soul To just believe, to believe… it is the calmness, the sound In waves of light and quiet nights, Who thrill the mind and make a way for the spirit To abide in joy, tremendous joy… This is the color of autumn, the hue a deep and lasting peace, Promising the heart to give generously, Promising the soul to send forever its poetry, Promising the wind to sing breathless faith, Promising that love will continue in grace – Forever flames of change that remind the most courageous, The most beautiful and tranquil – flames of autumn, Embracing the spirit with such a gentle Only the heart can feel its infinite whispering!

“Promising the soul to forever send its poetry” the way you’ve woven words here in an autumnal manner is so impressive! Beautiful and that ending is my fave! Absolutely stunning poem! The colors and depth of this is beyond profound! Goodluck for the contest

wow what an amazing poem... You leave me speechless.. and I bet you wrote this in the morning? I love this line, Life feels best when it is chasing after the rainbows... sadly, we forget to appreciate some of these things sometimes, your poem is full of poetic verses of vivid imagery and you describe the season so well... in every line there is impact, which is a sign of a great poet and a brilliant poem... This will do well in the contest.. A fave for me for sure..
