    With a Heavy Heart

    For days,
    the warm sunshine
    of early autumn
    has been shrouded
    by the relentless September rain.
    With a heavy heart,
    I catch a glimpse of a rusty leaf
    falling from a fig tree nearby.
    It's no more flying
    gracefully and elegantly,
    which I used to perceive and admire.
    All I can see
    is a weatherworn face
    full of raindrops.

    Beautiful poem, angliholic!Was wondering about you. Glad to read you again.
    "I seemed to have sensed also from an early age that some of my experiences as a reader would change me more as a person than would many an event in the world where I sat and read. "

    The poem draws a delicate parallel between the feelings of the poet and nature. It is wonderful how your poems builds its own take on nature without the usual clichés of this kind of poetry.

    Reap the Fragrance

    The moment
    I started to bury myself in marigold flowers,
    I was astonished to find
    how little time left
    for me to curse the darkness of the government!
    After all,
    it's not the corruption but the fragrance
    that I reap
    when I spend plenty of time
    taking good care of golden marigold.

    Thank you, Tailor, for dropping by and the comment. Luckily, when I directed my mind and attention toward natural beauty and wrote some poems, I felt much comfortable and forgot most of the darkness.

    Beautiful Autumn Morning

    You just called to say sorry~
    you couldn't go on a trip to the park with me
    simply because of the grey sky.
    I don't mind at all.
    If I hadn't stepped outside my comfort house,
    I wouldn't have a chance
    to taste this refreshing autumn morning.
    As luck would have it,
    the trees are still lush green
    in this subtropical Formosa.
    Everything is so peaceful and tranquil
    except that it looks like rain.
    As a matter of fact,
    the rain won't bother me at all.
    In spite of being old as the season myself,
    I won't worry about one day
    I must say goodbye
    to this romantic landscape with falling leaves
    forever and ever.
    What harasses me most is~
    I can't find some intoxicating lyrics
    to turn this beautiful autumn morning
    into an immortal piece of art
    while the morning dew is fleeting away
    with my life.

    Perhaps it's due to the Season

    In the refreshing September morning,
    while I'm inhaling some fresh air,
    I notice some sparrows,
    busy gleaning the seeds of weeds
    at a small park.
    All of a sudden,
    I wake up to the fact that
    I'm one of their kind--
    living a mediocre life,
    easily and readily
    satisfied with a mini meadow.
    Perhaps,
    it's due to the season of falling petals;
    perhaps,
    it's due to the declining years of an empire
    that I no longer wish to be a seagull,
    flying high over the ocean.
    If only I'm still able,
    once in a while,
    to catch a glance
    of a small patch of evening glow,
    I don't care how huge,
    how mesmerizing the world outside is!
