Autumn Fall (Shayne Dinong)

The tree blushed - a rude blast of air

Betrayed a shapely bough.

My saddened heart aware

That Nature's clock was chiming,

I froze upon the twelfth

Clanging tone, caught alone,

Staring at a creaking door -

Left ajar for dancing, coloured Autumn,

Pirouetting in her leaves,

While agitated summer creatures

Backed away resignedly,

Sighing in protracted breves.

I turned; gave company;

We stood together, watching

Summer slowly blow away.

The Brick Wall (MIcah Fernando)

One by one Through the years A wall was built With pain and fears Brick by brick

It was layed On solid ground Where it stayed I tried to listen As you spoke to me

Words of wisdom And prophecy Yet, I could not hear Through the wall Built with strength

As not to fall Then one day From the sky I thought I heard An angel cry
