Grounding Of Autumn

Cherry

I'm deep as an abyss in

reasons for loving this season,

for my sensitive tears fall

like leaves blanketing ground;

pooling these cheeks with

emotional tears of joy,

hearing touching sounds of

much loved stirring nature,

 

for irregular autumn colours

descending are bohemian;

so I too a free spirit reach out

to the earth, where amusing

blackbird's trill inspires; its

natural flair for tossing leaves:

hungering juicy worms,

calling out of danger

whenever I'm around.

 

But to linger here for just a while,

watch each leaf gently clinging;

till letting go – fluttering from

limbs they once wildly adorned

come to rest, soon decomposing

they've played their vital part

now in natures garden,

melodious gifts of spiritual tones

declare; it's time to slip away...depart.

autumnal, makes us think of the end of the begining. to slip away- depart, that's a start.

Thank you for reading Jack. 

Autumn really does make you realize how fragile we all are.

I'm happy you liked this poem and thank you so much for the cherries which are always appreciated.

I've always struggled with autumn. I love spring when nature bursts into life and then the warmth and richness of summer, but autumn just gives me a feeling that everything is over and done with despite its beautiful colours that everyone keeps reminding me about. So today your lovely words have helped me a little in my fight against my annual anti-autumn mood.

Thank you for that.

I'm so happy I could come some way to making autumn seem a little better. 

I used to love the summer when I was younger and would spend hours lapping up the rays, but now I'm older it's just become too overwhelming, but I do love the spring and am very grateful for our english seasons, which I think are so important.

For me autumn is a time of reflection, to capture those memories of loved ones passed on, though I have to say I constantly think of the past and love recalling my younger days.

Thank you for your welcome kind words, they're very much appreciated.

It's lovely that the dying has beauty created in it too.

they've played their vital part – in spring, and summer, and many in autumnal colours, but now will still contribute to further growth as they mulch into the soil! Rhiannon

Very true Rhiannon, I marvel at natures way, the continuation of the cycles is what keeps us steady and doesn't change, but gives life structure, which I think we all need.

Many thanks for reading and your insightful comment.

A beautiful, autumnal reverie tinged with sadness at the life cycle of leaves. Just a lovely read. Paul :)

 I love this about blackbirds : " its natural flair for tossing leaves"  made me smile each time I read it :0)

and this : " to linger here for just a while,

watch each leaf gently clinging;

till letting go" is gorgeous.

Also " I'm deep as an abyss" is intense!

you know my love for Autumn does run very deep, it's when I feel closest to nature.

I was watching this blackbird tossing leaves around from my kitchen window, and giving me a smile, when I decided to go out, as soon as I got too close, the blackbird was off and calling out, wish it hadn't, but then again birds do have to be very wary of others, so in a way although I meant no harm, you can never tell.

 I'm glad you liked this poem and your comment put a smile on my face. smiley Many thanks.

Jenny.
