“Autumn...the year's last, loveliest smile." - John Howard Bryant

“No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face." -  John Donne, The Autumnal

“At no other time (than autumn) does the earth let itself be inhaled in one smell, the ripe earth; in a smell that is in no way inferior to the smell of the sea, bitter where it borders on taste, and more honeysweet where you feel it touching the first sounds. Containing depth within itself, darkness, something of the grave almost.”
- Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters on Cézanne

A Jinjagoliath poem:

Listen to poem:
You once were connected You had your place As vibrant green The sun did face Now tumble down The wind she shakes As click you land Connection breaks So is it true That life revolves? The thing we were Rotates, dissolves We are transformed A panoply Of golden hints Of what's to be For in the cycle Green to rust.. Faith in the natural Ways we must Be strong in love. That nothing's lost Deception Is the only cost Preserve belief Beyond this schism Faith in the beauty Of nature's rhythm
