A DAMP AUTUMN DAY

 

Rainy Autumn Road

The beauty of the dying world around us imparts a poignancy to the scene.  Departing evening shadows grow longer and darker as the nights grow colder.  A full harvest moon shines brightly among overcast skies.  The low valleys are enchanted by the cover of white-frosted morning dew.  The rains fall much lighter and slower as all nature weeps for the impending fallow season to come.  The life-giving flow within all growing plants and trees begins to withdraw to their core as the sunlight also withholds its magic.  “Be at peace” is whispered in the gentle breezes that carry emancipated, colorful leaf spirits in circular dances to rest upon the moist forest floor.  And so begins the slow recycling process of eternal stardust. 

The lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer have acquiesced to the overcast, downcast, outcast days of autumn. Autumn is the season of the soul.  The time has come once again to pause, reflect and renew.
