Reverie

R E V E R I E
Beneath the fluttering wings
of this red gold leaf blown afternoon
lie the soft white feathers of memory
drifting down on the breeze like seeds
looking for fertile ground to take root
and they find it in my willing earth
and all at once it is another time
and that eager upturned face
and those sparkling eyes
belong once again to me
and I am back home
and you are there
. . . . .

SO beautiful!! I love the "red gold leaf blown afternoon".....the "white feathers of memory" - STUNNING!- and the feeling of reverie and nostalgia pervades the piece with a painful sweetness. I so love it, Susannah! Am eagerly awaiting your moving of more of your work over here........things I may have missed along the way:)

Ah, I even can smell the autumn air when seeing the seed falling on the ground.
