Fall River

There’s a dazzle on the river an October sun shine-sheens, makes it flow brighter as a fresh light awakens its old soul. An unspoiled air blossoms on every lip, long dead shadows are shed. Silver fish seem to leap out of sparkling eyes. Some days flow like wine we get drunk on ourselves; watch Autumn walk on water, a normal miracle once more discovered.

That "Autumn walk on water" just made me smile, and "unspoiled air." Such vivid and daring imagery! Elizabeth
