Nature’s Cycle of Restoration #poetry

The sun shines slant
and slender
in the nobility of autumn’s splendor.

It's that time of the year 
when spiderwebs tense 
and sway gently
unmanned in the cold wind
When migratory birds 
have packed all their spools
and taken off to lands 
where they're needed
They're not here to see
the leaves turn resplendent
and carpet the grounds
where they summered 
But we know
they'll return
to frolic and sing songs
of warmth, life, and restoration.

May the climax of the year that is autumn, melt your heart with warmth, life, and
restoration. Be well, I wish you miracles.

        No, we have only three seasons. I like winter.😊

    lovely poem: we are heading into summer here down under πŸ™‚

    1. Selma Martin

      Ah, so you and AnotherKate are down under. Lovely. You should mosey on over to the poem I wrote for her last week. It talks about the laughing kookaburras,
      the loudmouthed cockatoos,
      the warbling magpies,
      and nightingales too
      If you cannot find it, let me know. No pressure, John. Happy end of spring, start of summer. Yay.

    Lovely poem – superb word choices — unmanned spider webs swaying and birds unspooling — just delightful and captivating. You’ve painted such a brilliant picture with words, in celebration of Autumn – it really does feel energetic and bright, Happy. It’s a breath of crisp, fresh air. And the image compliments so well. Great stuff Selma. πŸ™‚ Be well and safe and enjoy the lovely moments πŸ™‚
