Ambush


Muted breeze of the ber months
October is almost gone
Leaves curled without discontent
Just waiting to disintegrate
To be part of the barren soil
To enrich... to nurture...
This thirsty earth
Full of putridness
Where once the magic
Was at its best
Nowhere to feel
Nowhere to relish
Where the old has once tasted
And the young to never discover
For the rain has ceased
Bringing no more rainbow
For the eyes to awe
Nor the chilling wind
For the skin to bristle
Nor the mist in the early morn
For the body to surrender
In to clasping embrace
In begging to stay in bed
Until the sun rises from the east

Nowhere .. All of these..
Nowhere .. For they,
Were buried In the past
Long ago forgotten
Long ago forsaken

But alas
A melody was heard nearby
The hymns of the angels
From somewhere in the distance
In the meadows of uncertainties
Where their chorus
Can be heard in utmost love
Reverberating, leaving behind
A tincture of melancholic praise
Unknown to everyone
Creating a wave of joy
In the human spirit

The praise now filled with gladness
As the sorrows eroded
Into antiquity once again
Oh in a snap..
The evergreen reappeared
The green fields teemed
In to an undertone of golds
For the harvest is ready
Inspired by hope and cravings
To feel the compassion
The attraction
The embossed devotion
Unmuted in to a panorama
Of exultation.
