Plumeria

September cascades Old plumeria tree sighs Blossoms of red and yellow Swiftly time evaporates The old year gone too soon Ageing new year ushers autumn Grounded time falls away A new September intrudes Once again with blossoms Flowery garden path Weathered wood bench welcomes A moonlit stranger's sigh The crickets are gathering A massive show of voice This surge of darkness greeting Dear wanderer take heed This fleeting world abides Within a strange diaspora And when you look, look deep To see if you can see and lift A flicker of truth to unravel Leon Enriquez 16 September 2014 Singapore
