Photosynthesis

the still life paints in water colour as moments dissect the day an autumn leave falls quietly in tangible peace of the quiet soul a tranquil hand brushes a humble canvass serene and at peace memories from summer springs wait for winter and fire place a gracious log rest on its grate and gathers ashes of yesteryear ember and glowing desire transcend an amber and transient hue like a squirrel collecting acorns a poet inks lush pots of gold an oak tree watches through a window of sash and dark wood rain showers droplets onto the pane dissolves pain and sorrow weaves an intricate pattern and frames time season and glimmer hope enters through a crack in the mantle-piece flickers reflection onto brickwork and tiles that have survived the test of past times shadow play suggests a pantomime on picture rails and stucco imprints harvest and garnering solitude where light parts darkness it seems to encourage to take a leaf out of nature and offer thanks to life change ambient eternal growth and impermanent worship of nature and one day the foliage will be ever so green once again 18th October 2020
