In many ways
To be going out
on a Saturday afternoon
something I hadn’t planned
to do
still and opportune
a bluish sky
some sunlit cloud
Autumnal colours to the fore
Sun kissed Birch and tree tops
all part of the natural Law
witness to the reds and ochres
serenity aligned
heading towards the mountain tops
magically designed
varying colourful strata’s
a postcard of a place
a gentle breeze apparent
in tune with a Wintry face
I am going to take a walk
with friends
something good to do
out in the air
to briskly share
some soft rain
glistening through
the bushes near my window
Diadems of light
the old leaves
hanging on for dear life
as if it was their right.
