Lush is the turf,
springing beneath feet.
Unsettled day, sun bursting
from low cloud, wagtails
call in flight, on
air, gathering in groups.
Goldfinches delicately pick
their way, dipping flight,
tree to tree, tinkling
calls, colours nonsuch.
Mechanical sounds of tractors
mowing, harvesting, freeing
scents memorable to
the wind, a vital element
to the tapestry of the day.
Wind blows fresh, every
breath infusing vigour,
speeding blood flow,invoking
the dormant free wild
spirit within me.

Desire for nothing except desirelessness,hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes, want nothing and you will have everything.avatar Meher Baba.

writing it down when the feeling is hot, is a good thing ... autumn days won't last long

and the harshness of winter wears away these memories

enjoyed

Phil, you painted a golden poem on autumn!

"Wind blows fresh, every
breath infusing vigour,
speeding blood flow,invoking
the dormant free wild
spirit within me."

~ You just gave a boost to my own spirit as well!

Warm, autumnal hug,
Linda
