Looking Forward



Summer has come to an end and the season is changing like my thoughts
Like Fall leaves my thoughts paint brilliant colors on the landscape
Thoughts that sometimes detach from its branch to fertilize new ground
Giving birth to innovative ideas and thought patterns.....puzzling theorist concerning its orgin
Historians and mathematicians try to revise and multiply it's quotient, but they can't
You see....it's programed on random
Summer has come to an end and the season is changing like my thoughts

Just a beautiful post with a beautiful picture to accompany it. Isn't this season the best? Oh, that it would last well into December...how I would love that.
Peace,
Bay

I love the seasons in general. I became a soldier after I spent my first Winter in Chicago...and you know that's cold! Baysuite, I had to tell David all about you. He digs you too.

Very unique. I'd like to see another version of this--perhaps with a more Pantheistic approach -- "Gods are in everything, stones, leaves, grass, etc..." a Whitman-esque approach, I celebrate myself.

I agree. I see the Sun (RA) as the ever watchful eye. Hence the old spirituals asking the Lord to "shine on me" or the concept that the creator is always watching. This is why I give praises to mother earth and I see trees as shelter for the spirits. I've always believed that trees, rocks, etc harbored spirits. Perhaps it's true. Thanks Stephen.

Thank you Blk Silk. Yes, this also makes me want to take pictures. I would also have to buy a camera. This is the time of year that I like to visit places like Harpers Ferry, WV. The folliage is beatiful. Thanks for stopping in.
