Autumn Spread

Trees all flare some bright orange and yellow Filaments of red spread where wind billows Up in the sky shows the darker grey mass Slightly blue expressed, shows autumn alas A special tree wallows near a calm pond Tree explodes colors like that from a wand And reflects onto the water below An image of itself reversed I know Fall rules this passive, semi-cloudy day Grey dominates the sky, blue comes its way Pond ripples by the bugs on the surface Flying across displaying its own pace Autumn releases some grand dynasty Peace is in the air, sends tranquility

Sometimes we need some of that tranquility..Enjoyed reading your autumn work..Thanks for stopping by..I saw this presentation on the internet where a woman whose husband was diagnosed with early stage Alzheimer's Disease..She started addiing coconut oil to his food and one could see a reverse in his thinking and abilities..I wonder if we started using coconut oil would it make a difference..Thanks for stopping by..My toe is hurting worse since I got the injection..Sara
