Aspen Song
Welcomes winter
Fallen crown of gold
quaking in the autumn wind
sings of winter's dawn

CH 20~ Party Down
Argento’s ninth (eighteenth in earth years) Birthday came and went Thursday, the thirteenth, and he’d already received his father’s gift, if you could call it that. You had to commit a fairly serious infraction to be cut off; the Arch-Baron was keeping up appearances and maintaining his own reputation as much as any sense of love or attachment to Argento with his “gift.”

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

I’m partial to your beautiful poem, but I’m biased! Haha
You've really captured the beauty of aspens and the feeling of approaching winter. Loved this one!
The golden crown turning to a song of winter feels so vivid and gentle.
