On the Winding Path In the greenness of September On the brink of crimson red There’s a leaf about to twirl A spinning dance within my head There are geese about to wander Into unseen paths of space There’s a candle that will light The fearful eyes of pumpkin face I imagine brilliant colors Lighting up my hillside world As the palette of surprises Is so radiantly unfurled Autumn breezes will grow colder And the fireplace will light Phantom briskness that comes creeping Through the windows of the night Little leaves will tiptoe past me In a sprightly swirling wisp On the path of silent ponder Into steps of deep and crisp There’s a leaf about to tumble Twirling rings around my soul For the dancing leaves of autumn Are a season of the whole In a pathway winding to belief I honor autumn’s wayward leaf Elizabeth Santos 09/16/02 [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (09-16-2002 08:23 PM).] |

Ohhh, yessss. I love the imagery. Natural beauty never fails to put a private smile on my face, and an occational goose bump on my flesh. Thanks for the stimulation. Tom |

Oh Liz, I just loved this. I found myself skipping along with the wind, crunching leaves under my feet. Delightful, just pure delight! How was your visit with Titia and Nan? Hugs, Marti Every now and then take a good look at something not made |

The leaves of life. Sometimes, you just have to rake them up, and then, jump in. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |

There’s a candle that will light The fearful eyes of pumpkin face Ahhh...delightful...just delightful. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

My goodness you are on a roll today, at this rate I will have to buy another big scrapbook to keep these wise words in. Beautiful,and for what it's worth I would give anything to be there with you this Fall, I sure would. The most valuable thing you own is a smile, wear it, and share it. |

Oh, all of your comments are so delightful. In response, yes I had a wonderful time with Nan and Titia. Both are such a joy, and their visit meant so much to me , I can't possibly tell you, even though there were a few mishaps,locking keys in car, saved by a masculine angel from heaven, etc Titia got a good look at the beautiful countryside surrounding the town. I loved having them and hope they come again soon. Thank you for your remarks Liz |
