What do you think this poem is about?

Fall (Sept 3,2002)

A summer endeth-
A fall beginneth

Where do all passing souls hideth?

It was a summer that just was
A just delayeth
A just barest
just in timeth

As the monks chant
I scrawl out healing words
That soothe my soul
From this page I draw strength
From the lines I find perseverance

The sun has set
Darkness filters into the shadows
Left untouched by the light

    How can we express the beauty of fall and the subsequent harvest? and it starts from September, the Fall!
