We fell back in time.
I will get used to it.
The shadows no longer
hold the trees to the ground.
Armadas of clouds have come and gone,
fluff of childhood.
Pewter sky fills the landscape above.
Furring maples, hornbeam and liquidambar
glow in the darkening gloom,
but the mosses assert themselves,
the resurrection ferns remind us
that even in death there is life.
We are all of a season
spring young, summer golden
autumn fading
and winter.
"Gratitude bestows reverence....
changing forever
how we experience
life and the world.
"Gratitude bestows reverence....

Your words remind me of the colours we see, and should
make the most of them. beautiful
I like it. It seems just this week the cold is moving in and the evenings are darker that little bit faster. Hope you are having a good week. Rescued any knitting needles? ;)
This isn't a post, it's a poem. A very beautiful one.
"Hornbeam" - that word always makes me think of Tolkien and the Ents and Fangorn Forest. (I don't know why.)
I hope the new glasses are working out well. :)
