Gently, autumnal breezes

Whisper over brown grasses

Through summer greens

Yielding now yellow and orange.

Like the caress of sweet Chernobyl air

Is life in surrender to death

Forboding a familiar numbness

Opaquely covering the soft nuance

Of a summer day giving way

To the inexorable coming of winter.

Longing, memories already fading

Into dreams and Paper Castles.

We are Rainbow Seekers passing through.
