Midnight Oil...
...Or maybe a candle, Well, Ok, A lamp, After all, We are in a post-Edison-and-Tesla era.
And yet, The lights are soft, My heart is open, Pen in the hand gliding over paper, A spiral notebook, My favorite, Filling with poetry, At the cadence of my Muse.
I am thinking of our far-off Paladin, With a vision of healing, Heartful of hope, Future still clothed in fine robes of possibility.
There is something powerful about these hours in the season of Autumn, Indeed all the year, Yet now the most.
The cool nights, Low golden angle of afternoon sun, Promise of Orion's return to the bejeweled Heavens.
The tinge of color is creeping upon both tree and bush, Leaves not yet skittering down the streets, Yet I find that I can't stop from turning them.

Blessed season of poets and painters. The draw of autumn is indeed an irresistible one. I smiled throughout this with understanding and pleasure. Autumn is my favourite season of the four. That's when that ol' midnight oil just keeps on burning and the mind keeps on turning.

Future still clothed in fine robes of possibility....
Crimson autumn dusk with delicate fragrance of lilac reminds me
of beautiful wild violets
in far away mountains.
Thank you for the inspire.

Dan, your vision of scribing poetry in your notebook, autumn, with Orio overhead brings back nostalgic memories for me. Once upon a time, I wrote by hand in a notebook. And while camping with my wife Orion ran overhead on some ancient hunt. Truly an autumnal poem of great emotional resonance you've penned here my friend.

I think that, for writing poetry at least, writing on paper is good for the poet and the poetry. Dan
