A Fall Poetry Invitation from Abbey of the Arts

It's time for a new Poetry Party from Christine at Abbey of the Arts!
Here's my attempt at putting words to her image:




So much happens at once...
Living
Dying
Growing
Grieving

So much to learn...
Peace in the flower's slowly nodding head
Joy as leaves turn to flame and gold
Patience as earth cools and lies fallow for spring
Vision to see new life
even as summer's glory fades
into the subtler beauty of winter

The grass withers and the flower fades
but love
and joy
and beauty
abide
forever.

  1. Thanks so much for participating Anne, another lovely response. Maybe we'll get you thinking of yourself as a poet yet! :-)
