Autumn symphony

A soft breeze ruffles my hair

Music’s in the air

Viridescent leaves turn red

One by one they are falling

The image shows a spray of red berries on a black background on which is written a tanka poem titled Lighthouse Flame Torched Burns by the poet Goff James. The poem reads; Lighthouse flame torched burns, Brave the watchful guardian stands, Beamed night’s warnings flashed, Cliffs bedazzled jewel sprayed, Silence leans against the dark.
