In the light of this coming autumn, here is a wish that everyone has a golden moment of their own...
Golden Moment
a moment shimmers
gold and clear
in this yellow place
warm light flickers
as golden crowns wave
on top of great trunks
white and straight
a yellow blanket
crunches beneath my weight
earth and sky meet
in a canopy of light
my nostrils tingle
with the first hint of winter
air expanding my lungs
the autumn mountain
smells of burning leaves
i dare not move
and disrupt the magic
in this yellow light
yesterday, tomorrow and today
blend
in this golden moment
memories and dreams
mix into one
like warm light
and cool air marry into joy
how long will this moment last?
i wonder
if the watch ticking out the seconds
has stopped
i dare not look
and see the moment vanish
