I found a place where Autumn shadows are long at noon

 

 

Where gentle wind whispers through very old trees

and but for breeze, it is so quiet

the thump of my heart

prevails.

 

A Lilliputian brown squirrel chatters feet away

perhaps startled by my presence

I imagine

I am being chided, just a bit.

 

Leaves flicker in sunlight, falling

they become a cozy, golden winter blanket

for young birches, and already summer

is on my mind.

    This is so beautiful it makes me ache. I love Autumn, forests and any poem that can describe scenes like this in a way that truly does them justice.

    You accomplished that here - perfectly and it would seem effortlessly. Your words themselves remind me of a gentle breeze fluttering through Autumn leaves - they have that same soft, rustling effect.

    Always a joy to read your work.
