I lay the morning pages down
for a brisk morning walk
afloat the drying leaf carpet
gracing the earth floor
Far as the eye can see,
nature attests, the warmth of thee
Your affection conjures the fondest
of memories,
as my weak sceptic heart
grieves leaving sunny sentiments behind
for what is to come
Assured in your motherly embrace
from my breath's vapored silhouette
tinged by winter's eve,
stings the solemn paradox
of a temporary goodbye
though I am not alone
with the very own footsteps of time
clicking beside me, carried by favour
I am humbled and in awe
at the marvel of thine orangery
and sheer wonder of creation,
outlined by the colors
in the harmonious notes
of the cooing dove
and last sparrow
I age with Grace, as I stand to remember
while the Creator spared me
in your time
the absolute beauty of living
was most accentuated

Really enjoyed this Garth. What a nice walk to go on. Faved
🙂 Thank you. Much appreciated.
Autumn compared with care from a loved one - what could be better and you phrase it so well Garth - thank you for sharing.
Thank you Fay. Much appreciated!
Always think autumn is telling us to prepare. It sure is slow down time of year, and maybe reflection time. The colours are marvellous, mind you.
Thank you Paul. Much appreciated as always.
Such a beautiful read 🙂 love this … nicely expressed
I'm out of words... Thank you so much!
Loved this walk....... I could smell the crisp air.
Thank you fellow writer, for taking the walk with me.
Refreshing! I love how you capture the scenery, the feeling ...I think I'd like to go on that walk on a Morning in Autumn. Great writing.
When art speaks for itself, we become but mere vessels. I am moved by these kind words. They are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
