Autumn light

The soft autumn light is upon us. And, in our tropical gardens only few trees celebrate autumn. . . .and freedom. 

lifting its bare limbs
to the sky. . . 
in the soft light of autumn 
the tree celebrating
another season of freedom

. . .wishing all be well. . .

carried away
by a stream of thoughts. . .
this sharp chirrup of a bird, 
bringing me right back 
to the present ~ to all things well 
with the world,
and to those not so. . .

autumn begins ~

Let no one be killed, no voices be snuffed out. . .anymore.

The stream of life will take it on. . .and the voice resurfaces elsewhere. . .
