patience

not where this was supposed to go

I thought I might walk out

this morning and bear witness

to the Passion

of the leaves on Big Hill.

 

I paused under the wise old oak.

Sat long and wondering

and my endurance was blessed

by scarlet and gold hues

intensifying above me.

Author's Note

I got caught up in the dynamic between patience and passion one day

A season of change, it seems to be, looking in the distance, beyond tomorrow for that passion.........that change. We wait patiently, only to find that it is there, in our own backyard........ we only needed to look for its colorful presence.
This is how I read this Emily and as always your words make us think, that is a good thing. You and nature are truely connected.

Breathing...this poem feels like breathing

The changing of the seasons are always a time for retrospect. The beauty of the leaves always leaves me in awe. I must travel north to catch it but the longing is always in my heart. Simple and deep all at the same time as with many of your written words.

A beautiful rendition of the changes that happen right before our eyes once we really see them.
