Agree with Soren, this can be taken both literally or metaphorically. This is a very well-written poem that imbues your love of the beauty of the natural world to a deeper, more contemplative journey through the seasons of one\'s own life. Very well done, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Very nicely done, indeed. I love this poem. Autumn is my favorite season, and is even more beautiful where I am from in Maine. But still lovely in Alabama

Katie I see the woods but intended or not I see the metaphor here as well. Change in any world comes with time\'s passage. We have all shared this path and still do. Very nicely worded

Katie the obligations of possessions, whether tangible or emotional, leave us encumbered. I never felt freer that when I got rid of things. Those possessions weigh us down and chain us to a ground that is not ours, filling space in our mind that better things could occupy. No space for love, peace and dreams. A wonderful poem and a fave

I Partake in Joy
Tristan Robert Lange said:

My friend, this shines with soft depth…the red-velvet throne, the buoyancy of floating, the fullness pushing out emptiness. You wrote joy as something embodied, something to dwell in, not just taste. Beautiful piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Moderation is the key. When is to much joy not enough?

Maybe I should be taking my own advice!
