Out and about

A wind has blown the crimson leaves.
Like memories of yesterdays
I saw them whirl
Scattering reminiscences of moments in time
I must too...
I am an autumn leave
Blown by furtive winds
I shall open up my arms,
spread them wide
And sing
Sing a song of seasons
And songs of new beginnings...














It's been wonderfully beautiful, and warm, and sunny and autumnal here...
And I've been so wonderfully happy
My soul shivers and words falter
Finding the right words to express the earnest
And humblest feelings of my heart it's almost foolish...
 
And thus I've been filling up ancient mossy flower pots
with some of my favorite plants—ferns.
In November!
And they can be left outside too!
Why they're at home in the mellow sun.
  This November of lush greens and autumn leaves...
 
Out in the forest at the back of our home...
Dreaming, singing, walking deep in leaves
There's a wide range of little magical places where to dream and play I may say...
Now, that's my kind of place for my backyard...
 
And in the house?
The almost emptied house feels lovely as it is...
Clean wooden floors
The echo of our footsteps singing autumnal songs in the autumnal evenings...
Eating ice-cream while watching movies past bedtime...
Like children in summertime...
Cricket songs outside
Love inside.
 
Ah I cannot be any happier...
And I hope you are too my friends!
