Autumn’s Foil I spread out thick in the lap of the oak so wide melting in moss curling under its hug a comforting place to wait the trunk was aggressive and heavy handed like an old lover that knew me it was the pealing back the layers of forgotten a lost child in a woman’s body as the wind sighed revealing every part of me and stole my words softly carving out paper rolled tightly between branches of the thinnest metal a coloring of red, and gold, and brown melting me as the sound of each tone deep shimmering summer’s confetti ringing defied gravity dripping of liquid gold while their glitter danced on the wind in the quiet fall gliding in painful slow motion steps to cover me as it’s canvas "wish your room had room for two" John Mayer |

I wish the same as James. Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history! |

The strength of the Oak comes from the spirit of the Earth. You have touched the spirit of the Oak and so have given us a link to the strength of the Earth. I congratulate you and thank you for sharing this perfect poetic image. |

Helen, it's so good to read you again. This is beautiful as you are and it's unanimous, you ARE an artist in everyone's eyes and maybe one day you'll take this stubborn Virgo's advice and get published finally!  The imagery, theme and expression in this is excellent.Melissa~ Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |
