the thrill of autumn
blown leaves caught in nights dreaming
memories for breakfast
autumn dresses up
in nothing short of brazen,
careening leaves take their leap of faith.
every year
i fall hard for golden light;
scarlet, bronze, yellow, orange praying.
hoping for the wild grace of leaves cascading
when letting go arrives to finally
claim me.
where welcoming lovers of small words
home each friday
is my brightest delight.

Me too Rebecca... these colors wrap my soul as I too let go... again and again and again... thank you for this dreaming and the offer of sharing breakfast together, yet once again... xoxoxo

I'm afraid my small words this week are somewhat disturbing, but life is like that sometimes...

The thrill of autumn is a little bit different in the desert than in other places! Happy Friday to all who hold haiku dear in their hearts!

I have not yet done my Friday Haiku so I will be back later. Always I love your words and thoughts, but this time Rebecca, I felt sadness, because of the way it reads "praying... for the cascade of leaves... to claim me. These leaves, although beautiful leaves, are the dying leaves. Please, do not wish in that direction. Let your beautiful light and words shine right through those thoughts. You are way too much loved. Even those of us who have never met you adore you. I know, because I am one.

I am loving the change of weather here. The colors you mention and the light have me in love with it all.
