In gold and brown these ladies fair Drift on down to fill the air Filled with rustle in their song The ladies hustle and move on Detached from all they know and love They hover gently held above Then on the wind of softest sigh They dance and sing and learn to fly All the sap within their pores Softly rests neath forest floors In their prime they danced and sang Moved with the wind till autumn rang Now past their prime they yearn for rest On the forest floor at best One last dance and then they're done Lay cold and damp in fading sun Autumn, autumn tale of woe For the leaves have bitter flow Winter comes in nights of dark The leaves die slowly neath the park Feed the soil in one last act Sleep in deep to keep their pact Come the spring they'll rise once more Resurrected from the forest floor Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

Excellent, superb, wonderful metaphor, Kethry! The imaging and emotions tied to this are wonderful. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

  (smiles) Yes, where there is darkness comes light just as where there is winter comes springs sunshine again! (kiss on cheek) This is superb, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kethry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

All the sap within their pores Softly rests neath forest floors In their prime they danced and sang Moved with the wind till autumn rang Very beautifully done, Keth...  ~ hugs from my heartLyra |

Keth beloved heart sister and painter of natures beauty once more your writing is imply stunning. Your ability to paint the picture with words dipped in poet’s translucent thought is so beautifully displayed here. Always you uncover the thought, and shading it in the perfect hue you frame it and then hang it high for us all to see. You know I love this, the beauty and the movement, you’ve written this absolutely perfectly. I love it utterly utterly utterly Truly superb writing Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

What a beautiful image Kethry, just simply beautiful. The most valuable thing you own is a smile, wear it, and share it. |

Winter down under must do something for the creative mind. This was GR8! Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |
