I lovethe colors of the fall.  When the leaves turn, gold and red, falling from the trees, they remind me of golden  pirate coins, while rose petals fall from the sky.  As the  crisp air intoxicates and inspires.......

Before My Chapter Closes
 
Let me stand on pirate coins
Let the sky rain roses
Let me drink the sweetest  wine
Before my chapter closes
 
Let me write a poem or two
From underneath this veil
Let my words......ambassador
Stories...dreams....and tales
 
Let me find those words that float
And drift by most....unseen
Let me share them, if you will
And all those inbetween
 
Stand with me on pirate coins
Let the sky rain roses
Drink the wine of sweetest rhyme
Before my chapter closes
