                                      In a brief retrospective
                                      with melancholy eyes

                                      September with
                                      the dominant color,
                                      under the leaf falling moon

                                      Never forget the smell
                                      of spring and flowering
                                      a freshness of love
                                      The sleeping earth of winter
                                      waking up under the sun
                                      warm kisses
                                                       - never too early

                                           His rain-washed face
                                 and cool breaths in autumn weather
                                  Season of mists fades in the west
                                                         - brooding over death

Hiya Sharma September 30, 2024 at 8:11 AM This piece really moves in the essence of melancholy and the flow of time ~ I felt so many poignant emotions accompanying your words as my eyes traced the succeeding lines..So incredibly heart-touching and crafted in an eloquent way. I especially love how you've written "under the leaf falling moon", "The sleeping earth of winter waking up under the sun" Such intriguing wordplay throughout. Wonderful to be reading your words after a very long time, coming back here slowly..Sending best wishes!
