Shhhhhhh, Listen

Hidden orange trees painted
Migration of low-flung sun
Small hand in mine held sweetly
Bares autumnal hearts simple love's
Exquisite secret

A perfect title for quietly taking in the majesty of a sunset on a beautiful autumn day shared with one you hold so dear. Small hand = child? grandchild? That's how I like to interpret this, Lonna. Sharing nature's wonder with a little one. So glad I read this today. Blessings to you, my friend ~ John
