Graceful tree in an autumn wood.
“Autumn Tree” — C.Birde, 10/20

“Gently, gently, gently.”

From Autumn’s house,

she called;

doors & windows

wide open flung.

“Your grasp –

so tight upon the latch –

restricts advancement

into

light.”

— C.Birde, 10/20

  1. Interesting reflection. “Don’t be scared; let go.” I’ve been hearing this a lot. Still clinging to the latch though. Hope you aren’t. 🤍🧡🤎

    • Oh, I’m often scared — feel like I’ve spent most of my life scared — and my hand is still on that latch… But I’m starting to loosen my grip, look around, and take stock of what I’m clinging to… What’s worth keeping, what I should set down. Best wishes to you! 🍂🍁🍂
