The leaves had collected on the ground The wind had turned a cooler shade Somehow there was a familiar sound In every chorus Nature made Freshest of air, sweetest of smell Hoping to hold onto this moment in time Keeping his silence, wanting to tell All who would listen to his mind With a new season, old season’s memory brings Foretelling also future if dared to dream Seeing this and many more things, But the visions are never what they seem What is Autumn if not a subconscious metaphor A wake up call before the dead that is winter His heart cries out like never before Even as the trees crack, and splinter Terrible though, that the knowledge is gained, That beginnings fade into endings twilight And all that is achieved is somehow in vain, Like the quickening coming of Winter’s night |

I like "listening to your mind" *s* your jm |

~JML This is excellent, my friend! Wonderful scenery and images you have "painted here". You captured thoughts of a winter night, quite beautifully. Great job! Amy  ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ |

I love the imagery in this poem! I'm really big on that, although I'm not too good at it myself Passions Anyway, keep up the good work! "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

Wonderful poem. Your play on words creates a beautiful picture in the imagination of a paradise between heaven and earth. |
