Feel Good

If only Autumn Days , were this good , all again
as golden mellow paintings, visual hearts, all explained 

as a child walked slate paths, covered in splatters of rain
 where he picked purple berries, from muddy , puddled lanes

 and his cheeks were as red , as fallen Apples, all new
stuffed in his pockets, his found treasures,  a few

 he saw the Cottage spiral smoke, for mothers baking bread
 smelt wood shavings sweet, from fathers,  work shed 

  for this , is Country Childs World, of 1842
and the 4 year olds wishes, on Dandilion seeds,  that he blew

now his mud covered trousers , from ginger cat, who's alone 
to the lace covered windows, to the safety
to the safety, 

called home
