The first days of autumn have arrived.
I watch you wonder towards the sparkling waters edge
as the bright morning sun gives glisten to the gentle ripples
marching towards an unknown destination.
In the foreground, the brightness of the sun casts you
as a silhouette of striking beauty
against the tall grasses
and the transforming colours peaking beyond.
All of nature is alive in the world,
as it is in you
when you are at peace
within its energy.
My observation of you
in your natural element
is in deep contrast with
your place in the day to day world of the big city.
Today, the sound of your reflecting is deafening.
Your presence is solitary and confined.
Your beauty in concert and alone with nature.
At moments like this
I imagine myself in your world,
in concert with your heart
observing autumn living out its days
as we prepare for winter’s arrival.
