Autumn's Calling



Truedessa's Collection
Autumn reflections
harmonizing with nature
patchwork of color
grasping for understanding
mystery of fallen leaves
 ~
 Autumn's brilliant song
melancholy scented trails
climbing mountaintops
leaves fluttering to the ground
following tall tree spirits

  1. a lovely evocation of autumn and the often melancholy for the brilliance in colours; it's as if nature is shouting for joy and we feel an underlying sadness for it, even if it takes our breath away.

    I really loved the last line - what a gorgeous image and idea - very uplifting!

    1. Thank you! I do believe that trees have spirits and live among us in the journey.

  2. Autumn definitely leaves a melancholy scented trail, doesn't it? It may be beautiful, but one cannot deny the melancholy within the beauty. Excellent autumn poem, Truedessa.

    Very much like what Autumn does but the 'patchwork of colors' is very real - brown here, red there, orange and the works. Good description of the landscape, True!

  7. Such a sweet rendering of the seasonal images — the patchwork of color is aided by sounds as well. I loved the idea of "melancholy scented trails" which defines the mood that we carry as days get shorter and lights thinner. And that is definitely a beautiful photograph! :-)

  12. Very nice poem, True. It seems that leaves around here are falling but a lot of them didn't change color. I guess they just couldn't be bothered.

    1. Thanks Silver - Many trees around here decided not to bother as well. I took this one up North. I heard on the news the weather was the factor.

  13. an excellent reflection of autumn.
    i wish i could experience autumn. the tree leaves are always green over here, and it can be kind of boring, isn't it? :)

    1. Hmm - depends on perspective, if it's warm and sunny it could be delightful.

  14. I really love the image of the leaves "following tall tree spirits", it adds to the idea of the Circle of Life, showing that the leaves don't truly die... They just change, and follow the spirit of the trees into always.
