Autumn Day

   It's a beautiful autumn day and the air smells of crisp and sharp dying leaves. The trees are colored in bursts of red, rust, yellow and orange.  Traveling up the winding road cutting through the mountainside there is a sense of magic waiting to happen.  On the left there is a small flock of sheep grazing in a field and I ponder their significance in the moment.  Oh look, a farm with fresh cider donuts.  A quick stop to indulge in one hot off the roller.  Oh my, the sugar just melts in my mouth.

  Today, is a good day. Continuing onward, my heart pauses.  I have found the perfect scenic spot. It's a place where green fields and deep rooted trees stretch to meet the sky.  Serendipity at it's finest.  I take a deep breath letting the calmness of this place enter into my being.  I feel at peace.

  1. Blissful and beautiful. I felt the same driving down-Island through the fall colours which are spectacular this year. It feels like every year Mother Earth outdoes herself. I am so happy you took that drive!

  4. I love the way your haibun appeals to the senses, Truedessa, the air smelling of ‘crisp and sharp dying leaves’, the trees ‘colored in bursts of red, rust, yellow and orange’, and the cider donuts’ sugar melting in the mouth. I enjoyed traveling up the winding road with you.
