Nature’s Sigh

After reading through the beautiful and poetic comments people made about fall (on Boho Girl's site) I decided I needed to put them together in some way. So, I went through all of them and highlighted words and phrases that jumped out at me and alas! a poem of sorts came through.

Thank you all for your sweet comments--i had so much fun sharing my art with you.  And thank you, Denise, for sharing your beautiful space with me.

Nature's Sigh

Breathing in wood smoke

and dancing leaves

we taste

our childhoods

again

hay rides

apple cider

tomatoes drying

on the vine

crisp swirling

colors

pumpkins and puddles

sweaters

and scarves

steamy, creamy mugs

of hot cocoa

and soup

ripe and open

slow and still

we curl into

woolen afghans

and tender hearts

and all the space

in between

breathing with nature

we sigh

and begin

again and again

and again.
