Oh to live forever under stately oaks
A breath of autumn in the air
Treading paths many have traveled
And touching the history there
Sights, sounds and heavenly smells
Senses overloaded, heartbeat overkill
Re-living youth spent wildly
Losing yourself in the childhood thrill
Many memories of a father and son
Treasured images in mind’s eye keep
Above all, marking all that passes,
The sad Spanish moss weeps
Feel the earth upon the hills
What mysteries they may contain
Let the lake waters soothe
And in its voices hear all explained
No other place rivals here in majesty
A heaven amongst mortal sight
I vow to be a ghost when I die
And haunt here every autumn Saturday night

there was a place,
long ago,
in dusky dusty CA
where I wandered 'mong
Spanish moss
where my childhood played
it dusted me
with memories
of what had walked before
leaving me
with history
and footprints at its door...

thank you for the inspire, you are one fine Magician, indeed....

I find it interesting how Autumn invokes a kind of introspection and creates a deep longing of "used to be" that we so lovingly yearn for...very nicely done.

Brings to mind a hunting trip with my Son

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Nicely done my friend, lovely imagery.
P.S. Sorry you don't have e-mail, not easy to call or fax, but does seem we have some common interests. Take care.
