autumn arrives in new england
like a kaleidscopic explosion
with it's awesome colored leaves
and roadside stands filled with
both glorious tulips
and plump pumpkins

day sudden gray i took in
rockport with a child's delight
it sang in my embrace and
i could feel the artist's breath
on my cheek and the poet's voice
whispering above motiff number 1

i stopped in all the village shops
searching for something
and purchasing nothing
but leaving with a peacefulness
that stayed with me
long after i had gone

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

I have to agree, there is such a aura of peacefulness when in the midst of nature's wondrous and glorious show. Beautiful write, Faith.

How can one read this and not smile along with you?

Excellent.
