Wildflowers Next To A Log — Photo-artistry by kenne

Throughout the year, there never is
A change like that in Fall
The strength, the vital strokes of life
Make every man stand tall

Fall’s mellow freshness fills our days
And boosts a heart anew
Instead of spring when love blooms forth
It’s Autumn, through and through.

— from Autumn by John Boynton

Footnote: Autumn is in a book of poems, Love is Radiant,  Joy gave me in 1987.

Lovers
Learn from yesterday
Laugh about today, but
                     talk about
                     tomorrow

Sunset Over the Mountains — Photo-Artistry by kenne

SUNSETS

Pink – orange sunsets
          like all those
                                          time-worn loves
Always smile down
                       upon me
          whispering how good they were
The days
                       and the involvements

I can never turn away
                        from a hiding sun
No more than I can blot out
                                          hidden memories

It’s the last few moments
                         of either
    that promise the most

Smugness in lovers
                          is tolerable
In a sunset
It’s devastating

— John Boynton
