 * Rolled up in Autumn leaves * Deep silence broken only by my footsteps on the freshly piled carpet of rustling colored leaves. Why do I hear Spring tunes on this familiar path we once walked hand in hand? The crackling sound keeps drumming in my mind, it invites me to let go, to rest in peace …. Should I join the leaves in their graceful last dance before adorning the grass? Waltzing across the lawn I catch my dance partners in mid-air for a quick caress between like minded spirits. Willingly I lay myself down, rolling into their caring embrace, to the rhythm of a Fado melody. No tears of sorrow I shed when the breeze is summoned to arrange the leaves in a golden cover over me. Behind closed eye-lids the late afternoon light filters in kaleidoscopic choreography. But soon the chilling night falls and spreads its misty silvery arms over the place where I hold my breath in perfect tuning with Nature, waiting for this sadness to slip into oblivion. A silent sigh and I let go. There will be a new dawn, transformation will give birth to new enticing horizons. How do I know? Love has its ways… Rainbow colors flash through dewdrops mixed with tears tenderly kissing off my fears. * Love, Margherita |

Mmm this is beautiful...and the picture just happens to remind me of the tree that once stood in my parents back yard. Can't say how many times I climbed it to dream. Bravo! Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history! |

Margherita, this is a deeply moving write of love, loss, hope, change, acceptance, self awareness. Observations of self are always the most colorful, albeit blinding at times. I know you'll find comfort rolled up in your autumn leaves. Keeping this... K |

Yes, love does have ways, and Autumn leaves certainly can play a part of it. Nicely done M. |
