O hushed October morning mild, Thy leaves have ripened to the fall; Tomorrow's wind, if it be wild, Should waste them all. The crows above the forest call; Tomorrow they may form and go. O hushed October morning mild, Begin the hours of this day slow. Make the day seem to us less brief. Hearts not averse to being beguiled, Beguile us in the way you know. Release one leaf at break of day; At noon release another leaf; One from our trees, one far away. Retard the sun with gentle mist; Enchant the land with amethyst. Slow, slow! For the grapes' sake, if they were all, Whose leaves already are burnt with frost, Whose clustered fruit must else be lost-- For the grapes' sake along the wall.

Byron
Lembo-Frey was born in Nuremburg, West Germany in 1987. Through his
childhood, he did drawings that featured a lot of colors, lines and
symbols.
He received a fellowship to Vermont Studio Center in August 2009 and graduated from Johnson State College in May 2010. His senior college exhibition focused
on abstract art. Witnessing poverty, animal abuse, child abuse, alcoholism, domestic violence and arrests in his community, Byron felt a strong empowerment
to focus more on social issue art to better his community.

"From the Occupy New Haven movement, I learned to respect my life, stand up for myself and be more appreciative of my life. As one of my professors said, “Who are you? Who do want to be?
You can heal the world or break it even further, but the world has been broken enough.”
