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.
OHHHH this is perfect... it's as if all those words were meant to be put in to a poem together. Thank you for sharing that, it was a perfect way to end the day for me.
