Reflections

Reflections Reflections off the fountain’s water dancing on the garden wall amongst the trails of Boston Ivy turning red with coming fall. Impending changes of the season whispered softly in the air, foretelling nature’s morphing moments baring all for us to share. With Autumn’s beauty so refreshing painted brightly on display, one’s left in wonder of the season, treasured moments of this day. The cooler morns that greet each day and sheafs of wheat stacked in the lea; reflections of the season’s changes proudly shown for all to see. Yet as I ponder Nature’s beauty on display before my eyes, my thoughts are drifting deep in mindscape, dreaming of some prior skies. Reflections of those bygone seasons dancing softly in my mind, and thinking too of future treasures waiting up ahead to find. October 9, 2023

Hi John, it's a pleasure to read you this morning, and you're certainly correct about Autumn baring all to us. Her nakedness is exposed on branches of trees once they've been undressed by the wind. Even in her bare poses, she radiates brilliant beauty. Loving your lines, as always. I'm hoping you're well, my westerly friend.
