Lyra, This poem is beautiful and so true. I was out early this morning walking in the woods. You captured the picture so well. These are pensive days for me and I have been sending good wishes your way! SimplyGold |

Thanks so much, Karen... I love autumn, but the season is truly a tease... It never lasts long enough... Fortunately, the leaves are still here today lighting up the woods behind my house, but as soon as it rains... the trees will be bare and the ground will be yellow.  ~ hugs from the chipmunk in the autumn woodsLyra |

Thanks so much, Electra... This is a picture of my backyard, taken from my livingroom deck the other day... I am so happy that the beauty of autumn has chosen to stay a bit longer this year because I may never see this again... thanks also for your good wishes. ~ loving chipmunk hugs and blessings to youLyra |

 (sigh) Awwwwwwww, I know just how you feel, sweet friend, the spring is my favorite season and autumn my second but the beauty is always so short-lived and that is why it is important to always embrace each new day! (sigh) This is touching, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lyra, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Lyra, now you're the one doing the teasing! I enjoyed reading this so much that I wanted it to go on longer! This was just a teaser! Seriously speaking, I REALLY think this was superbly written (and great photo to boot!)and I'm giving it a comfy berth in my biblioteque! ~ angel hugs and unicorn magic P.S. Don't forget the secret I shared with you in my Unicorn reply.... Earth Angel |

Lyra, our sweet lady chippymunk, this is so beautiful. Autumn is my favorite time of year, too. But, like you said, all these beautiful colors (like in your picture) only last for a little while. I'm making your beautiful picture and poem last, though....into my library you're going. Lyra, I love the way you see the beauty of things and can write so perfectly about them that you make all of us see the beauty, too. Thank you, sweet Lady. With Love And Hugs, Ethel |

the double-entendre' of this was not lost on me, Madam MunkSter. In a way, its a pity that beauty cannot stay external forever. It's our job to find that beauty within and never fix upon which we only see. Jeff |

What a lovely tease. So slow and long lasting this year. But momentarily that light will be on the ground and we will be working hard to rake it and bag it into darkness! If the light would only stay till Spring and then turn luscous green again. Hugs this brilliant day, Marti |

There is a triple entendre there also, Jeff... As we age, and go through the different stages of our lives, we have to let go of one, in order to reach the next... thanks so much for your thoughtful reply ~ loving Munkster hugsLyra |

Lyra Just think how fun the children have tromping into piles of leaves...the crunch makes so many smiles...yet, it is so beautiful in its turn of color while still on tree. Enjoyed your photo and poem greatly! |

Lyra, How in the world did I miss this? Lovely words so beautifully illustrated. ============= tomorrow your glitter will carpet the ground ============= Cool line.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
