Painted leaves sing in unison Unlike music, their song is soundless harmony. This orchestra of glow soothes the tempo of an internal pounding from a day of instruments that refused to play the same song. Fall catches you with muted volume a serenade of equilibrium let the blushing colors sing you home. © Alicia Grimshaw (rewrite of 2018 poem)

Fall catches you…
Such a wonderful serenade of a gentle season change. I love the imagery. There’s a sense of resounding calm that is just warm and fuzzy.
“Let blushing colors sing you home” Beautiful. One of your most soothing poetry.

Hi Ali,
These verses resonated for me, and I quote,
“from a day of instruments
that refused to play
the same song”
Somewhere in the words, I see at once a glimpse of stubbornness and melancholy.

Shakti,
Thank you for reflecting back the words that spoke to you in this poem. Somedays can feel loud and out of synch. Nature’s beauty always seems to be able to sing me back to center.
Wishing you wellness and peace.

So beautiful, Ali. The Autumn is when I feel alive! It is a season I look forward to…with it’s beauty, and pace, as we begin the proceeds preparing for winter. The colors give us so much to enjoy as we prepare. I love how you make this process feel like a symphonic musical in my heart. Thank you. 🙏🏻🍁🍂
