In the still night, autumn hesitates and wipes the sweat from her eyes, remembering that summer’s prayers have been answered with gentlest goodbyes ~ by poet

August bleeds thoughts of harvest, picking crops shortly, corn husks, rustling leaves in earth tones crimson shadows, bustling golden meadows indigo skies blessed with gushing raindrops almost tears, flowing, gentlest cries of grace summer wars with fall in twilight treetops blessings edge the soul, kindling light and hope walking roads of joy where doubt never stops searching for God’s voice as the soft wind moans bustling golden meadows, crimson shadows comforting the soul with mourning dewdrops

Congratulations, Regina. a remarkable piece on an equally outstanding pic. I noted that you wrote it on our wedding anniversary. It would have been our 49th, but Henry left for heaven in March. I found comfort in your words.
