hail to the fables of autumn

falls bounty

in a jar of rancid spite

spoon fed from birth

the mountain stream

now so polluted

with the negatives

of man's most dismal delights

war

poverty

famon

mistrust

greed

and neglect of spirit

all a frenzy erupting

in disruptive despair

man is forever the slave

to what the waterways bring

errors and mistakes in judgement

brutal mismanagement

of resources

carelessness and drunkenly disorder

that leaves oil slicks of mammoth proportions

scarring and ravaging

our fragile coasts

and recent memories of man

distorted and fearful

ever the grumbler

he stands tall

right or wrong

determined or not

in anticipation of moving

that next life afirming mountain

for it is what it is

a stepping stone

of life

as we weave our weary way along

the spirit's passage..........
