Still-Life of Autumn

Take a walk with me within the forest Gravel path, laced in peach and yellow, leaves. Inhale the spirit of air it surrounds. Listen to crunch and shift of course gravel, See the dust rise upwards beneath our shoes, feel the cool wind blow our hair across our face. Stop, view of the bank, against large white rocks And tall green and wither sedge blades. Listen To the hastening heartbeat resonance Of transparent aquamarine, cool river Where it runs deep flowing downhill. Tree limbs full of brilliant palette autumn Colors sway as the breeze quickens its pace. Take a walk with me and breathe a piece Of heaven that beckons and awakes my spirit. 10/17/2020
