 pencil art by Janet K. Brennan, Sugar Pine Lake-2008 As The Oak Drops its Red Shadows grow while old prickly stings my heels longer as the day moves on There is a change in the wind as the oak drops its red I have been here before and will visit again Lover of life, those shadows Growing longer in the change No stranger to fall Nor the tears that it brings Wet cleansing the night for the morn is much clearer when the trees shed their leaves You were my season, your warmth my muse Even as shadows grow longer and cool nights bring ghosties, old prickly leaves its mark on the back of my heels And I dance, I change ~~ Janet K. Brennan ~~ ~~ [This message has been edited by jbstillwater (09-04-2009 06:55 PM).] |

This is absolutely gorgeous Jan and I must say one of my favourites by you. I think it must have been written for a very special and heartfelt moment. Love Katriona  |

Thanks fellow poets: Yes, Kat...a very special moment and I am blessed to have many of them. Margrit...You are right, for the most part , I am one with nature and am happiest when I am surrounded by it. I believe that all of life is a metaphor and we only need to look at the simplest blade of grass to see it! Huggs to all Jan |

Thanks guys happy that you liked it. Yes, I am always most comfrotable when I am in the woods or by the sea or a mountain. I have been that way all of my life, it just helps me to center, which I sometimes have difficulty doing. (lol) Not that I do not want to be around the hustle and bustle of the city and people, just am happier when the land is around me. Huggs to all Jan |
