The Autumn Leaves Speak to the People

by Albert Reed


 

How will you know unless you spoke?

 

Not only to your kindred but to every folk.

 

You are an artist, poet, pianist or performer

On canvas.

 

When the heart, voice and hands agree you

Can do the impossible.

 

It is possible to supersize empires, downsize

Ignorant desires and stigmatisms that give

Glory to one side of the story.

 

A close mouth never get fed.

 

Express yourself and observe maturity's

Breeze subside the autumn leaves.
