The fury of the winds of deep Autumn, howling, a mournful dirge, as brown deadened leaves dance the macabre dance of death. They twirl higher and higher into the chilled autumn winds, like furies on their way to hell, only to wither and decay, into the pregnant earth, enriching her womb for the birth of spring. Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart. Joseph Fort Newton |

Oooooh, Ellie! I like this one! It's quite different, but what a nice way to show the cycle of life and death! To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |
