Today's Beautiful Gem: "Autumn" by M. Udayakala.

"Autumn is the season of contentment;
Autumn is the season of retrospect;
Autumn is the season of reminiscence;
Autumn is the season of "what could have been if only I had..."

"Autumn is the season of joy for successes;
Autumn is the season of regret over failures;
Autumn is the season of brightness and colour;
Autumn is the season of beauty and glow;

"Autumn is the season of lavishness ending;
Autumn is the season of austerities impending;
Autumn is the season of love for the past;
Autumn is the season of hope for the future;

"Autumn is the season when the air gets colder;
Autumn is the season when the heart gets warmer;
Autumn is the season when the many-hued leaves of this spring fall;
Autumn is the season when the many-hued flowers of the next spring rise;

"The beginning is the end and the end is the beginning;
Life ends in Death and Death begins in Life;
Autumn is the season of understanding;
Autumn is the season of peace!"

Om shaantih: Peace! - J. K. Mohana Rao
