We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." ~ Professor Keating (Robin Williams) in "Dead Poet's Society"

Autumn Aspens
Autumn Aspens
She faded like a mirage that Fall.
The thorns of life and death
Were not enough to turn back trust
They were like our love
Their crowns were dense with autumn leaves.
Their branches were interlaced.
In front of our rustic cabin,
We would go out, hand in hand,
And admire the aspen trees
While she was still alive.
