Pensive Walk

Pensive Walk

Autumn winds are sorting;
Some limbs this day are cracking, falling,
While there are those that split and cling
Green cored, they do not break but bend.
And I will walk and walk and shuffle
Through wooded leaf cushioned paths,
Believing these will be seen again where
Tall cannas, sunflowers, sleep in depths waiting.
Yes, I will walk, I will breath,
Agog at jeweled leaves with supernatural hope,
That we will meet again
On the other side of Winter.

But Autumn is such a wonderful time of the year, I love to walk in this weather, cool, crisp, and beautifully wondrous! I like Spring, but it brings with it the beginning of Summer, bad for me, too hot! I like Autumn better for Winter comes after and that doesn't bother me! I really enjoyed reading your ingenious and well thought out write here my friend! You have masterfully written a grandiose piece, Great work!!

As you say, there is someone on the other side of winter--I feel the autumn's pensive walk along your path!
