Forsythia leaves are falling now too. The way the light falls on the perennial gardens and paths is beautiful. Daffodils, primroses, ferns, daylilies, and wildflowers will return. Orange pumpkins add bright color to the scene. As wonderful as the flowers were, are, and shall be – this restful beauty is so welcome. I enjoy October colors, and then November as well.
night sky
moon above clouds
shines on Lake Michigan
pictures of my life
these many years
books on the shelf
Deep calleth unto deep *
filling my heart with hope
greater than my mind
The first line of my haiku is from Psalm 42 (KJV).
reading
in a sunny corner
of the house
I could be

turning the vase
of flowers
learning
there are
more roses

leaves of bleeding hearts
now gold
so do broken hearts mend
so does grief heal
Autumn grace
