Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

October Sun

Serene majestic silence reigned
Much like in a grandiose cathedral
Trees rose tall their autumn leaves
Fluttering colors to the breeze

Eyes closed soaking in warm rays
Face blissfully offered to the sun
In one breath the world stood perfect

How I wished to capture the moment
Enshrine and treasure it forever
One sigh and it would be gone
One cloud and the illusion shattered

Constance La France October 24, 2019 at 3:21 PM Line, your poem is really lovely. Canada has the most beautiful Autumn scenery but does not last very long .. one day you look outside and the trees are bare and snow is falling ! Line Gauthier October 24, 2019 at 6:00 PM Absolutely, when the sun is out I go out and capture what I can in photos. Thanks for your lovely visit and comment, Constance.

W.A. Cholt October 24, 2019 at 2:25 PM Great scene painted here. I know that wonderful feeling of being captivated by ones surroundings in a moment of heightened awareness and longing to find words etc to describe it. You've captured and expressed this scene and that feeling very nicely. Line Gauthier October 24, 2019 at 6:01 PM Thank you so much, WA. Most appreciated.
