The Universe was examined and Black Holes too
Brought General Relativity and Quantum Gravity intact!
Was he the one who diagnosed with dreadful ALS,
Transformed black holes from inexorable gravitational prisons?

Memories

I dwell on so many events of the past,
So many things I’d like to do.
But so few words to say,
Pondering what he loved.

Birds flying away, scattering greyish skies
Ebullient landscapes changing with sunrise
Autumn arriving briskly with chilling air

Illusive temperatures plummeting and staying
Falling leaves mastering paintings, Van Gogh
Underground creatures are...

I wish I was a Tory,
It would be another story,
So much simpler not to care
Or have to be aware
Of how other folks must strive
To make a crust to stay alive.

Ends its long-awaited season of renewed beauty
After long, cold, dreary Winter months.  Now we

BEAUTIFUL FALL

Blowing winds usher in colorful fall's parade
Elusive as a butterfly on the wing in an
Atmosphere that changes everything.

Trees dressed in scarlet, gold, orange and brown
Inflight, twirl and dance...

Shifting seasons delight, most of all, fall,
Enchanting heart as green leaves turn to rust,
Poised gracefully atop trees standing tall,
Till they drop to the ground, adorning dust.
Equinox at autumn balances light,

Bestowing...

Not seen by eye, even by the normal shy,
Blowing plants and trees, with a smelly breeze,
Leaves, branches shivering, scary as delivering,
Now and then a gust, lifting up clouds...

Trees start to dread each single breeze
E-type says there’s nowhere to park
Mornings complain about the dark
Blackberries doubt that they’ll get picked
