Breath of Sweet Season

back door breeze.
  relief from sophistry.
    sounds of ink
      dipping into darkness.
        I see moonbows,
         or I’d like to; believe
           in wings of brightness,
            breath of sweet season.
             quicksand takes my breath.
               soothing tunes of velvet
                 like romantic violins
                   reel me in; I need briskness -
                     a cold blast. I need leaves
                       to relieve my melancholia.
                         don’t refuse me the hues
                           of Autumn, a drift of falling.

Dear Kim, Your poem reads like music, with all those flowing sounds and rhythms. It's the kind of piece that makes me want to read it aloud to feel those words roll off my tongue. Blessings, Kim, Daniel
