Soon the autumn shall claim the leaf's
and the foliage of the rambling hillside.

Soon the myriad of creatures, large and
small shall feel the stinging tide of winter
scorn.

Soon the sky shall turn dark, and the
embers of captivating night, shall plunge
the spear of her destiny, into full fathom
of our untapped souls.

I saw the light in the distance, I saw her
dance, island allure, she is beauty and
majesty.

She is the wisdom of our elders, gone
with a gentle flow of seasons, a cycle
that continues, infinite.
