I love when a late October day is crisp
and I can see my breath
..floating in the air
Faery homes glisten in the early morning fields
..still sparkling
from the night before
Somehow I just know they’ve been dancing
all hours long
in the silvery blue moonlight..

Mist rises
ever
so
slowly
from the silence
of the pond
..as though it is whispering a secret long held within
a weary traveler from the hot dry summertime
Finally,
..letting go
Snow white crane stands triumphantly,
A beacon beneath the crimson leaves

And, there is a tree in the heart of the woods on the right of my path that will turn the color of sunshine soon
But, for now
..tiny star flowers are blooming in its tender shade
Autumn has arrived with colorful fanfare
Tomorrow it will be November…again

And yet, full of moments that have never been
One cannot help but to think of time
at times like this…

I love when a late October day is crisp
And time is of no consequence
when the sky is such a heavenly shade as this
the sort of blue that sings to the very heart of you
its soulful song of everyday
..of always

Autumn used to be my favourite season when I was little. And then I moved to a place where autumn is short and followed by a lengthy winter. Gradually, I ceased to appreciate the coziness of autumn as it reminded me that the long, cold winter was just around the corner. Thanks Suzanne for reminding me of the magic of this beautiful season with your gentlest words and loveliest images ❤️☺️🍁🍂🐶

I understand what you mean, Isabelle. A short autumn is so sad to me. Sometimes here the cold comes quickly and it’s all over before it began. I have to hurry and enjoy it in case it doesn’t last long. Thank you for your sweet thoughts Isabelle. Hugs 🤗🍂🧡🍁💛❤️
