Autumn chill

Early morning autumn chill moment captured and felt...

Crisp autumn wind blows past,

remnants of the summer are taken away.

Change has arrived,

faithful and constant.

Contemplation of the year that’s spent,

the year still to come.

Thankful for the blessings,

learning from the pain,

hoping for the future,

silent in the present.

Early morning stillness on city streets,

quieted homes rest peacefully awaiting the day

I'm lost in calm habitation of mind,

silent reverie of life,

my place in the world.

A chill runs through,

I snap out of thought,

I wish I brought a sweater…..

Author's Note

I work graveyard and was on break thinking about life the universe and everything....the answer is 42....

[Gee]

Couldn't imagine working anything but "normal" hours, must play havoc with the body clock.
Always amazes me how words come to us. I look back on much that I have written and cannot believe the words came from me.
Your interaction with emmaj interested me as "like" and even some reviews are just a way of the reader trying to lure the writer to their page:)

Emmaj is one I consider a great writer on here and someone I look up to, thank you for the review.

[Gee]

She is super talented and a very good egg

[Dave W.]

Good eggs are awesome.

Smiling at your note. :) 42 is always the answer.

Yes, seasons change and temps rearrange.
While we wish some things would stay the same, they're not meant to.
We must be ready, indeed.

A friendly reminder to grab a sweater next time. :)
That Autumn wind can create chill bumps. Brrrr.

I see you are also a person of class knowing the writings of Douglas Adams. When I wrote it, it was a cold morning and I was lost in thoughts of life. I hope you have a great day.

[Brandy]

I appreciate the compliment, Dave. :)

I hope your day is wonderful in every way.

The ending…unexpected, a little
off chartered skip… made it real

[Dave W.]

Thank you for reading it, it was a cold morning when I wrote it, I was wearing short sleeves....

Chuckling at your Hitchhiker note.

Fall is good blanket weather.

[Dave W.]

Thoughts gained in advance that move from here to there - somehow similar but each having its own intention..

[Dave W.]

but did you like it?

[emmajoygreen]

I read, interpreted best I could. I could have viewed but left nothing. 'Like' means little or nothing, I tried to say that i found that whereas 'blessings' are warmth and hope.. the sweater implies cold and little else.

[Dave W.]

Thank you, you are absolutely right about "Like", I can be dense and a little slow at times, I appreciate the review.
