"felt Season"

The naked trees have melted
their colors to the ground...
The cool air wilts the flowers
and steals the birds sound...
The vision is chilled and profound...

Smile ~ I like the duel or beyond images invoked amid this soulfully brushed poe "My Dear & Talented Friend, Michael J. Falotico!!!'" ~ Just a matter of fact or, a metaphor towards something a bit more stirringly profound; either or, "Beautifully Brushed" ~ "My Love & Warmth to 'You & Yours,' Always," John! ~ Smile, "Have A Very 'Blessed & Beautiful' Evening My Friend;" Bye!:) ~
