Layers of Whispers
Virginia Salter

layers of quietness
rest within the realm of time
whispers of gratitude
beheld in harvest rime

pumpkins bedazzled
with glistening dew
amber leaves and gold
flitter past the yew

blazing sunrise
steams the rooftops nigh
billowing puffs
belch from smoke stacks, fly

brittle stems
hold up crispy flowers
decorate my garden
through these morning hours

creatures seek
place for snuggled repose
curling into tiny balls
tucking tail ‘round nose

autumnal equinox
carpets land ablaze
reds, yellows, browns,
‘neath sky filled with haze

song of birds grows silent,
save sea gull’s laughing cry,
finches nests full empty
as season sidles by

Well written verse with great flow, a pleasure to read.

If a dream touches us, it exists to us as anything else that touches us.

Some people find subtlety in strangers
if you find anything~let me in
Your eyes~you see everything
my eyes~I see it all together now~and I know
