Waltzing with ochre hickory, birch; whirling flaxen moods of sycamore,
Gracing my view upon blazing foothills, where vistas gamboge scroll,
Bedecking maples, swaying rhythms, with fiery...

Enfolded deep within a gamboge glen,

An old man sat recalling what had been

Hope is a song of bird
Reassuring forlorn dawn,
The nightmare is banished
And the dream is still alive

Hope is a Lotus flower
Drowning in the night

Gamboge on brown
That curls...

Spring tantalizingly unfolds vernal, winsome
Blossoms of lilies pristine, undulating to appease
Fawning nectar-dreams adrift on wings of bees
Frolicking tranquility of rustling flowering trees

Oh, splendorous, spectacular, resplendent autumn!

Boldly you dye cypress ~ flaunting ochre, cinnamon,

Responding in purple whispers, tupelo leaves flutter

Reminiscing in revelries evoked by red-oak...

Colors she wowed in autumn's praise
Where tinted leaves turn fiery red,
Where gamboge dye prairies imbed.

Meadows winsome in crimson blaze
Inspired poems of heartfelt themes
Strumming passions of season's dreams.

Vying glimpse of her moonlit gaze
Resplendent motifs whirled in...

Glistening meadows of gilded season, adorning tinted russet dye

You hang there on the rise of dawn
Bending twigs where you cling,
Glistening gems on sunlit lawn,
Where I greet you before you're gone,
Before my passions forlorn ding
While you gleam rays of spring.

How long dear will you...
