 A Slow Fall There are years, around here, when fall doesn’t fall… it flies by on zephyr wings and arctic breath when Summer jumps into Winter as if invited to a polar swim fest where men play like bears with little sense ~ some years. Not always. This is a molasses kind of year, running slow, almost late, as if there were no time like the present, as if there were one more ball to attend, a special sort of ball, where one dresses in grand style, with beaus all standing around just waiting for her grand entrance she, the debutante, who arrives, in red, just because the color suits her and she glows with all of summer’s warm held within… where she will dance the night away before the clock strikes 12 before the magic subsides before the kiss of crystal ice and the beaus hold their breath with the wind’s tease of shimmy… and its icy gasp shrivels the thread of each bit of lace, allowing all to fall around her ankles, just after her last dance of summer. |

Nice...very nice....so touchingly rendered, and so very true. I used to love the long autumns, and like you just hate the times when it's "brown-and-down" from an early frost..... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Karilea, Now that write makes me want to seek out fall and pay a long visit. The desert does not know the meaning of a fall like that. Lovely...  |

Very very beautiful Karilea.. Seems Autumn is in a hurry to give way to winter here this year. Wish we could have the scarlet leaves year round.. But then again...I would miss the green leaves of summer. Hugs YOU! ~Autumn..the year's last, loveliest smile.~ |
