Falling Leaves There is something deeply moving in falling leaves as they with one thought accompanied by a colorful farewell begin their descent from lofty positions of sheltering….shadowing depriving the landscape its softness leaving my heart exposed to the elements of emotions Robert if you can dream; you can fly...if you are flying; you are dreaming. |

Yes, an exposed heart...you wrote of my favorite subjects-nature and emotions. I sit here reading this again and I think that the leaves live again so perhaps exposed hearts are once again covered...

RobertB~ Oh ... this is a very moving piece. A feeling of detachment ... of letting go ~ of falling away ... and wishing it wasn't so. Well done, poet. I wish you an early Spring to redress the branches of your heart with fresh joyous emotions. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Oh yes......one misses the color and shelter found among the leaves, especially when the heart is left exposed to cold reality. Wonderful work, Robert.....nice to meet you! Live...Love...Be grateful for both!! |

There is much within the structure of one's living, feeling, thinking, that is paralleled by nature. A thoughtful and tangible composition, Robert. Thank you.
