         to read an acre of green
when the pages
have been charred
    and lay scattered
                         whispering
        in sharp breezes
                   fresh carved
              from primary colors

   a giant hum
            cocoons
                      in wild onion
                       and old age

      the sun
seen
      but not felt

time?
  ...both

             and then

I put myself away

promising
     the Oil

of Spring

yes, the promise of another spring

an appealing image, especially when you're feeling a bit rusty...(rusty...meaning me, not you )

interesting - I like the introspective feel of this-

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

ah yes the primary colors turned secondary by the chill of autumn, the dying leaves feeding the future green...a lovely scene you have scattered so artfully across the page!

one thing that amazes me apart from your words, how some of you are so successful at a layout such as this...I cannot get this to happen without dotting my way between words. Every time I try, everything always lines up at the left margin. Hats off to ya!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

We are done mowing for the last time here as well, and you set the scene for outside my window today Bri, except it is pouring.  Have a great weekend.
