here the darkening trees
bereft of shimmering leaves
don a million stars
***
days shortening.
night, a long winded bedfellow with icy feet.
winter begs for reflection, slowing down.
time beside the warming fire.
life is a song of letting go.
when finally complete,
we too are poised
for stars.
***
while haiku brings us together,
it is the time taken to visit and leave a kind word
that truly gives us a sense of belonging.
to fully experience the power of connecting i encourage you to
visit each participant and leave a word of
acknowledgement along the way.
please link back to
so more may join us.
thank you for your warmth and beauty.

Magnificent shot and words. Stars sound so jubilant to me.

Which is better: trees with leaves or trees with stars? Oh, it's so hard to choose! I guess the best thing to do is take things as they come, with thanksgiving.

Thank you for this oh so lovely reminder that it's time to slow down and let go. I'd like to find myself as a twinkling star in the heavens one day!
