Summerland

Curling leaves caught in a chill Autumn breeze.

Winter’s deep dark sleep comes ever closer

With each long night.

Enjoying warm sunlight while shivering from Fall weather

Nights so cold as to freeze candle flame.

Now fading sun sees my passing as well

With no renewal of spring.

Hail to the Summerland!

I see that I visited this poem on 3/20/04, just before some major crises in my life. And still, after over a year (and all those problems), this poem's beauty continues to resonate.
