Autumn Images
Chill early mornings with a pledge of coming winter
Cows swimming gently on a mist covered meadow
Nature relaxing with a gentle sigh after the frantic fecundity of summer
Leaves turning golden as they prepare gladly for a fiery death
Balmy air with a touch on the skin like rabbit fur
The crunchle of a walkers boot on the dry field stubble
A pheasant whirring into startled flight with a chirtling cry
Trees holding their breath as they prepare for the winter gales to come
Starlings on power lines queuing for their flight South
Robins parading proudly in their new winter style
Swallows have gone - will they swiftly come back ?
Children chattering back to school " where have you been, what did you do ?"
Holiday romances foundering on the cold reality of dreams destroyed - what might have been?
Tupping all done, life started anew, protected and secret in ewe
End of the cycle, but the ring has no end - how did we do - where will it end ?
Winter is waiting
Spring is expecting
Summer is fulfilling
But Autumn is the best of all - counting your blessings and keeping a check - how many more until ten and three score ?
Give thanks for the harvest and the hope for some more, reflect on what's gone and hope for what to come, try to be better - to all, not to some.
My favourite time; the season; Autumn.
