“Even if something is left undone, everyone must take time to sit still and watch the leaves turn.” -Elizabeth Lawrence
Still, soft colors
like blushing roses,
dew kissed, dancing quietly,
in the gentle wind –
rustling like the songbirds,
bursting with a melody,
chortling on the twisting
lights of morning’s reflections,
glowing like the face of love –
still, soft rhythms,
murmuring like the sea’s spray,
soothing away the night,
breaking through the quietest dreams,
flames of sunbeams,
swaying on the sweet, calm air,
erasing the soundless summer
with hesitation of autumn’s prayers,
giggling at the moon’s memory,
excited as the tempest ensnares,
bidding farewell to the comforts of solstice,
resting on the afternoon gusts,
testing the heart of yesterday for hopes,
intuitive grace unfolding.
Still, soft blessings,
defying the doubting,
balancing light and shadows,
blending faith with grace,
ending every fear,
like a dream who believes,
beyond the grief,
there is music that pleads,
pours out light over the soul,
inklings of truth,
beautiful, too magnificent
in hues of rich feelings,
unspoken treasures, words
in private wars,
healing, hoping, helping,
shall I ever know such acceptance?
Still, soft autumn trails,
rising beyond the moments –
quaint, crisp crimson,
vibrant gold and lively tangerine,
warming the spirit
intriguing, yet tender
like a feeling who steals the thoughts,
near dusk, when twilight
lulls the deathlike grasp of autumn’s voice,
manifesting the ache of a lonely
far wiser than her friendly face.
Still, soft moments
sigh, then sing through the spirit,
like the destiny of dreamers,
impressing each other with faded notes,
ballads of yesterday,
promise of unending love,
love that influences hearts with peace,
amazing tranquility.
quiescent as everlasting breaths.
