Right after the rain
walked with a
wacky brush,
painting
rusty leaves agony
whispering secrets,
the wisdom of life tree
before soul leap -
I follow the color-shift
ceremony -
umbrella closed,
press/cells to the ground
level with earthworm
to absorb the moisture,
decomposing odor on
the first day
of October.
Shared with PU
the color shift ceremony sounds delightful...smiles....an earthworms view of fall would be quite interesting as well...

Each of us have our cycle of life. Trees are great endurers and many have the ability to outlive us easily accepting seasons change in their stride.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like those autumn scents, you took on us on a lovely walk with our senses :-)
ReplyDeleteThe wisdom of trees sings out in Autumn. You have captured that in this beautiful poem of October.
ReplyDeleteA great tribute to fall.
