For Autumn and For Always

~ a collaboration by Trace and MsJewel ~

 

fall drizzle ~ artist unknown

 

 

 

When the sun won't shine
like I want it to
and my thoughts bleed shades of grey
I will lean on you

 
When your heart is sad and heavy
and cold winds seem to call
When you need arms to hold you

I’ll catch you should you fall

 

 

         

It is Autumn

the air filled with pumpkin scents

and golden hues

 

Change stirs the breeze, ruffling the leaves

once lush and green,

dressing the trees in tiny flames

f

            l

                i

                                    n

                        g

                              like rain

 in crimson red and brilliant orange

 

                                Still,

                 it’s a winsome breeze

perhaps it doesn’t know

                                 it’s almost winter….

 

When the leaves have fallen

and the breeze shivers through lonely branches,

I’ll find shelter in your arms

Knowing....

                                     I can lean on you

                                                                 you would never let me fall

Right from the very first line, this poem is appealing. Skilfully composed, its closest to perfection it could be, with great rhythm, style, structure, color and everything. Beautiful perspective in here. Its all warming and charming. Loved it.

Such a brilliant write for the season it brings a special light. Oh the colors so bright the fall colors I like Green yellow orange red and brown they get around. Autumn is the spice of life it brings a sense of chill in the air and a sense of Jack frost nipping at your nose for the first time in the season of fall/winter and get that warm cup of tea boiling on the stove to take the chill off your nose. Great writings Julie.

Love how you used the changing of seasons to represent life and the need to be able to lean on others as we fall.

dear Julie and Trace... the mystery of Autumn
Is touched by two poets who share tones of red
and gold as music floats through time and space
in a duet very similar to the friendship of Tony
Bennett and Lady Gaga's magnificent collaboration
in songs leaving us blessed in colors of warmth
and admiration. truly... Pat
