September Squirrel Season of harvest: Cherries juicy and sweet, Nuts ripe in waiting, Winter food plus autumn treat, Afternoon tea, with pond full of lilies, Passing the day tranquil and neat. Year by year, Waving twigs in rhythmic beat, Four chapter symphony, circling the days In picnic high upon spreading sheet. Laughter to spare, or murmur to share Dark shade in hide, I quietly greet Furry cheek welcoming all, A souls' feast under my lush green retreat. Merriment to spare for all in need, Playing aloft in bouncy feet, Excitement to share, basket-full Of curiosity satisfied, to meet What stranger of sorrow, I melt in whole with passionate heat. At ease! Rippled calm in pouring tears, Closing in, what burdened a seat. I shall steal what calamity exists, Restoring happiness within heart of defeat. 2005/10/21 -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Let not a drop of desire Disturb the heart in ripples ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ --
