leaves drift
ruby, emerald, sapphire,
colour the turquoise of curtain above
reflect onto the liquid crystal below.
dews of refraction spray the misted line
into which the ignited iris bathes himself;
the orb of moonstone the light of beacon -
a lantern hung slowly on charcoal wall
as constellations of diamonds glitter
to beam at the child
brushing the treasure chest of the Earth
on the paper fingers of trees
discarding them into the laps of the gust
that journey the adventures of life,
setting the leaves adrift

A lot of colored pictures, soft and dreamy descriptions and good flowing verses are the great poetical quality of this poem. This time I will choose following lines to sigh:
~
the orb of moonstone the light of beacon -
a lantern hung slowly on charcoal wall
as constellations of diamonds glitter
to beam at the child
