Last week she went on a journey, visiting special people who touched her soul with lasting imprints on her heart…now and forever.

last days of autumn
taking in final colours
imitating life

last days of autumn
crossing to the other side
between seasons

taking in final colours
hanging on to lifeless limbs,
Ah! those tawny leaves

imitating life
poinsettia on a gravesite
honouring the dead

Carpe Diem Special #185 Georgia’s first “Autumn Reflections”

(Troiku)

autumn reflections
as I cross the sun warmed bridge
geese fly south

autumn reflections
old man contemplates winter
under the hot sun

as I cross the sun warmed bridge
ducks laugh downstream
– diving for trout

geese fly south
the noisy swallows have gone
but the blackbird sings
