The Day I Met My Fate Was a Fine August Day

the day I met the love of my life
who became my wife
was a late August day 
in South Korea

as Koreans put it
the sky is high
my horses are fat
and the king is far away

in late August early September
the weather turns in Korea
the humid sauna like temperatures
begin to abate

cool breezes cool the air
the sky is high
crystal clear
just a few clouds

the temperatures moderate
high in the 80’s low in the 60’s
just wonderful weather

the promise of nice fall weather
in the air
the killing heat of the summer
abates and dies down

and on such a lovely date
I met my fate
she walked out of my dreams
and into my life

and became my wife
during the brilliant
Autumn of Korea

before the winter
settled down on the land
To this day

when the autumn comes
I recall the halcyon date
when I met my fate
