That second line has an otherworldly aspect to it. If you read this, it almost seems to have a supernatural tint to it, doesn't it? Thanks as always, Gerard

How I long for the days when I lived up north and leaves turned bright colors before ruffling their secrets through howling wind. No leaves fall from palm trees and most of the plants where I live now keep their leaves year-round. Your haiku takes me back to my youth in New Jersey, Wilma. Very beautifully written! I'll be okay, dear, just doctorphobic. I am going to church this evening and that always lifts my spirits and brings serenity. Thanks for your friendship. Love, Carolyn
