#4237 poetry

Photo: the small details have been grabbing my attention lately.

It couldn’t last forever.

that, we knew very well

but we would enjoy it

as long as we could

Walking in the daylight

watching and finally seeing, seeing!

Of course, bad days would come

but today we were living in

the thrills of nature,

its quiet march towards a long sleep

but before it would happen

It would make the leaves fall,

one by one, or in heaps

so as to let the light seep in

on the days of severe cold.

#4223 prose poem

photo: Leaves speak the language of temperature. In all their autumn glory, they are telling me « the cold is coming ».

The light bends like a truth slightly guilty because of its harshness, while the leaves fall brilliantly. Why does my shadow tug at my sleeve to confide in me, to remind me of old stories I had buried so well? Yet we make peace for a while, just to crumple a few leaves in the last rays of light.
