AUTUMN LEAVES
TURN TO GOLD
. . . "black gold," that is.
The bounty of each autumn
happens when the colors fade,
and leaves return to the earth.
There's raking, of course,
but not in the woods . . .
as the leaves' sweet decay
turns into compost.
A gardener's best friend,
and insurance for next year's
healthy plants.
(It's a different kind of beauty,
come full circle.)
oh that first shot is glorious! thank you for your words on my blog, I really appreciate it
