As I swing, on a hammock Lazily Sipping on a tropical cocktail Reminiscing melancholy thoughts Of September days past Cool breeze, surrounding me As I walk Through wooded scenes The wonderful sounds Of dry fallen leaves Crackling, under my feet As I walk recklessly Without a care Down a dirt trail Watching The leaves of multi hues swirling, to their final destination Cushioning the forest ground For the coming, fragile snowflakes My mind has no physical pain Feelings as I see myself There But my body couldn't begin To take, a first step Without my trusted cane As I am here Trying to ease my pain.

Very sad write.
Touched me deeply.

A beautifully quiet poem, William, perhaps why the "intrusion" of the cane upon your thoughts also provides a stark contrast in the piece... your writing here is nearly mystical... really lovely. katy xox.

William, Autumn seems to be the healing season for many. Something almost magical seems to stir within us when the greens fade and the brilliance of Fall bursts forward to see.
Truly beautiful write, it was a stroll we all could enjoy.

Very well done, William. Exceptional imagery, use of both visual and aural. Also, the piece moves beyond the purely existential to a sense of loss in independence and mobility as well as vulnerability to which many of us can relate.

Nice one, William. The opening lazy scene and the attempt to ease pain at the end provide a nice contrast.
