certain portions of the world
heading its merry way towards
hell-in-a-handbasket
wondering if what we are is
word fatigued (heaven forbid!)<\/em>
or much rather,
opinion
fatigued<\/p>\n\n\n\n
that yesterday I spotted the lovely
downy woodpecker
at my feeder
or even that, this morning the sunlight and
shadows through the leaves of the burr oak
made such a gorgeous golden light
it felt to warm you
straight through the window pane<\/p>\n\n\n\n
were enamoured more by the cirrus or the
cumulus clouds of the other day
or were they possibly even
altocumulus
but weren\u2019t they something, just the same
with that beautiful crisp white
against the
blue
and who could have blamed you for
staring<\/p>\n\n\n\n
so to speak<\/p>\n\n\n\n
my neighbour was out with his (spoken through gritted teeth)<\/em>
leaf blower<\/strong>
blowing his lawn full of leaves
out
in
to
the
street
and over the noise of that
hideous-beast-of-a-thing, that-can-only-cause-great-harm
to-small-beings<\/em>
he was\u2026
singing
in a joyously loud baritone
that seemed to carry its melodious way
down the street<\/p>\n\n\n\n
that became such a thing
the clearing of one\u2019s leaves
the need for constant
tidiness
especially when it comes to nature
when the leaves really do much for beautifying
the colour-retreating landscape
as well as
the breakdown of such
do so much to feed what lies
beneath<\/p>\n\n\n\n
believing in our need of controlling things
and just how they might appear
to others
how one will stand in awe at the fall beauty
while on the trees
yet,
when they fall\u2026
they must be immediately gathered up
and out of sight
bagged if possible, so as not
to be seen
at
all<\/p>\n\n\n\n
if you were to stand
quite still
to watch
there happens to be
a very grand
kind of magic
in
this \u2665<\/p>\n\n\n\n
