Autumn Reverie

Good morning Lisa! Well here I am just catching up after the holidays! I am so grateful for your insightful and poignant feedback. You always put a smile on my face. While I love all of the seasons, truly autumn is a unique experience that touches us in so many ways with color, texture and reveries - with time to dream and savor its rainbow, it's harvest! I hope you are well! Sending you gratitude and blessings of health and happiness!

Dearest Mala, thank you so much for your insightful and thoughtful feedback! You have such a wonderful ability to go to the heart of a poem poetically and see its inner meaning.

Thank you so much Vijay! Just catching up after the holidays! Thank you for sharing in autumn's delight! Gratitude and blessings of health and happiness to you!

Hi SO! Well, great minds are at it again! Your poems always leave me breathless with awe and a desire to think more deeply and raise the bar. This poem was inspired by a picture my husband took of a waterfall garden in OR in the fall. I used it on the cover of one of my poetry books - From a Woman's Soul. Even though I love all the seasons, fall has a special ability to inspire me with its color and texture and life metaphors. Hope you are well! Blessings of health and happiness!!
