~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Persuading October from her quiet lair Shedding the pleasures of life’s fictional realms Mouthwatering plunder, gathering to share Swirling through the silence, round oaks, pines and elms Secrets and shadows reflecting nature’s rush Flames of ginger, shushing dark who overwhelms Sweet dreams are splattered with hope by God’s paintbrush Storm wrecking peace calms souls who reflect this time Much like a coryphée, plied by a wood thrush Closing those moments by the sea, maritime Breathing in crisp air, whispering a prayer Carrot colored leaves twirl in a soothing rhyme Reflections so daring arrive on sun’s glare Lifting the past’s tears with grace beyond compare

Gina, your poem is so full of praise brought to life with your gentle imagery and carefully chosen words. I loved "shedding life's pleasures of fictional realms" as well as the unique way you used coryphée. I'd heard the term in relationship to ballet performers and thought it was the perfect choice. So many beautiful lines. We're blessed when reflecting and lifting the past's tears...grace beyond compare. Where would I be without God's grace? Troubling thought. An outstanding write & fave
