Flowing Words

Lately life's jumps
for attention
have steered me far
from the realm of writing...
I've almost forgotten
I have a blog
somewhere
laying in wait
abandoned
in the frenzy
calling
my name...
even the photograph is not
let to beckon
these days
although the beauty
still surrounds me
@ this time when the leaves
are dying and
their brilliant orange yellow red mantle
flashes opulence
before the fall.......
yet...somewhere the spark
shimmers still
the urge to pause
from life's diversions...
take a deep one...
let the words flow
into then from the photo below.......

Time Slips

©pralinanmi

Once again...time has slipped through...as one day turns unstoppably to another. Has it really been 10 days since my last post...I am left to wonder...
In the mean time...Autumn is up on us...as it is in other parts of the hemisphere...green leaves turn to yellow...or red...or straight to brown...and night falls earlier these days...and I know...soon the warmth...and light...of summer will be a wisp of memories...
Tonight...on the way home...the highway was streaked with a wet blackness...the result of rain's fall...but my mind did a double take...as it saw not water...but ice...black ice...creeping up without warning...and sighed relief as it realized that this could not be...not yet...not so soon...when the fall... has barely begun.........

Passing In Beauty

The signs are here
autumn will soon be
upon us...
I see summer's blooms
letting go
of their passing beauty
with grace...
as aspen turn yellow
leaf by leaf............
