Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge – Leaves
***
My painted rocks for leaves (with faces) in brown, red, yellow, & orange.

REVIVAL
A nagging pain, like cotton wool, muffles my thoughts
My head hurts, just need to close my eyes
Maybe a breath of fresh, fall air will ease my senses
Sunny, mid-morning yellow, surrounded by cool, blue skies
Listening to the silence of the falling leaves
One, two, three, then more
They touch me like soft butterflies
Raining down in golden drops of autumn
A crispy carpet at my feet, I smile as I hear my cat
Pouncing and leaping to catch the falling curiosities
My tree laughs and smiles, as a soft breeze tickles her branches
She shakes herself, releasing her finery for us to enjoy
We have nothing to fear, as winter comes near…
Her words are felt in my soul
As I open my eyes, looking upward,
I am thankful for this gorgeous fall day,
And find my pain gone away

Thanks for visiting! Peace ☮️
