Through The Autumn Fog

 

"She decided to free herself, dance into the wind, create a new language.
 And birds fluttered around her, writing "Yes" on the sky."

~Monique Duval

There is so much wrong with this photograph, but at the same time there is something about it. Something really good. A kind of natural sadness to it. Or maybe not so much sadness or depression, but rather a pure melancholy that matches my current mood. Fog. Mist. Rain. Heavy thoughts. The kind of beauty that only comes from acknowledging all the moments, not just the good ones. Then letting them take flight, to make room for making new ones.

Autumn Leaf Of The Day #77


 “Nature is an alchemist,
gathering the last of summer’s green
and turning it to gold.” 

~Laura Jaworski 
 

 

Autumn Leaf Of The Day #75 And #76

 
 
 
 “Autumn burned
Deep red and amber,
An inferno of intense
Terrifying beauty,
Devouring feverishly
Everything in
Her path.” 

~L.S.
 
 
Okay, so life gets busy. I'll share about that in the next couple days. I have some good reasons, it is the holiday season after all. Anyway, here are the two leaves I owe my Ellipsis, with more to come. Something beautiful to look forward to, as autumn kisses the earth goodnight for another year. I am already grieving it, as I do every year about this time. But autumn doesn't ever go quietly. Look at the vibrancy of a life well lived!

Autumn Leaf Of The Day #71

 

The Passing
 by Stewart Stafford

In the gorgeous death of Autumn,
Tree-bowed alms for the wind,
Sacrificing eye-catching features,
Now primed for Winter, skinned.

Organic shaded palaces looted,
Shells of once-shimmering things,
Shorn of their prettified plumage,
Until born again the following Spring.

Everything is recycled in Nature,
Dead leaves compost the soil,
Turning wheel of rampant Summer,
No memories in the humid broil.
