worthy of sharing? ...winds of change...







Autumn breaks through the barriers
of the late Summer Sun
Harvest has begun...

Leaves come to shroud the dissonance
that build upon the lands
readying themselves for Winter's long embrace


She comes...
He goes...


They move in separate ways.
yet, mysterious ones.
For what was known
is incomplete...


Autumn carries with it
a breath of exuberant air!
the dissonance so greatly needs.


come now lover
do not wait for the frost.
come now lover
when the leaves begin their dance
among smoky grey blue skies,
where the hawks fly
in unison,

bringing messages to those that
need them...


windows lay open for those last seasonal
breezes that blow,
bring change,
a new perspective
new opportunities


come now lover while the Sun streams through
the trees, and rises in the east hills of green, still,
yet becoming gold, red, orange.


come now lover
do not wait any longer
as the earth is readying herself
i ready myself for you...

Welcoming Autumn...
welcoming you...

Oh my dear Calli,
It's clear inspiration is not gone, and I am so glad for this. You genius of words and paint, how can be autumn be better described together with the love which so easily sprouts from you.
I just love both your poem and painting, my dearest artist! :)

Calli - This is your most beautiful and poignant poem yet, I think. This is beautiful in the contrasts and counterpoint.

Lovely painting, too!

Oh my goodness you have been very very busy since last I visited! This poem, this painting, and all your new paintings, so wonderful. You capture something magical in the faces of your subjects, and the metaphors are perfect.

It's good to immerse again in Calliland. A big hug to you sis.
