Beauty in your words as well
I was taking a meditative stroll through my neighborhood a few weeks ago when a very similiar thought struck me while looking at a tree on my block.There is indeed beauty in death.I guess someday I'll be good lookin' after all.Peace brother. -
'Beauty in death': A lovely conclusion to a lovely poem on a lovely picture.

Some say a picture is worth a thoushand words...your words add more richly to this. Love your beautiful photo art.

very, very pretty

Gorgeous photo..just goes to show how well the contrast of seasons compliment each other ..the death that autumn brings, and the birth that winter holds melded into each other ..so that you don't see death .. but the rebirth of what is lost. Like the phoenix they rise again.

Perfect Piece
Beautifully Worded Don!
To find any color this time of the season, just kinda of natures way of saying there's hope, help is on the way! I'm sure there's a few different out-looks to the pic and words above, though this is what I received from it, and found much peace within this piece!
Thanks my friend, for yet another wonderful work of art, and how you show your strength in the wisdom you share! ~Smiles~
You are one cool Monk, please, never stop being you! ~Smiles~

Oh, I like that. It's really cool. I mean, it is sort of dark, but so vividly descriptive. And it is so the right time for that. Excellent job man, really excellent.

beautiful
Phoenix is reborn...and the leaves are red and yellow and multicoloured like phoenix feathers...premonition I guess.
A lovely write.

Hugs,Sherry

thanks for the read...... a beautiful cycle of life to death and back..... and so on. It's all a mystery and somewhere amongst the mystery there is also beauty.
-
Broke all the rules in this one going philosophical..... but that's how I normally write... modern ku concepts. I would fail my own contest.... well, at least I would have to write something more traditional. LOL
-
I like this very much it shows up there is still hope for the future and even protection...
-
And in death rebirth. As the leaves compose, creating new soil. I like it. Definitly captures the feeling of autumn.
