An Enchanted Place

crystalline futures glimmer

amidst scraps of lives torn

into freefall by bitter winds

*

each fallen leaf enriches

the soil for future growth

*

each tear drop waters

errant seedlings of change

*

await the turning season

for storms can be weathered

and growth will begin anew

This post is for day 169 of 365 Days Wild, a day when I went out for a walk amongst the fallen leaves.

They were everywhere – including resting on the caps of toadstools in the meadow.

The leaves gathered on the water at the edge of the pond particularly drew my eye. They looked like a giant leaf! This effect was heightened when a sunbeam burst through the clouds and highlighted the ‘stem’ of the leaf. It only lasted a very brief moment – just enough for me snap one photograph, but not long enough for two.

That’s all for today. Are the leaves falling where you are? I’d love to know. Just leave a comment below.
