Autumn is here

The doctor was oppressed by my blood

He read it whenever he could

But he tried tea leaves instead

As he ate some fried bread.

And his fate is foretold well and good.

Fortune may favor the brave

And neglect those who  never make waves.

But   in the middle we hope

To have just enough scope

For the knowledge our hearts and souls crave.

Autumn is an ambiguous time.

Her darkness is hard on the mind.

But the red leaves  in sunshine

Transform  us enough times.

We give thanks for the stunning designs.
