"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn."
John Muir

The very form of this poem seems to reflect the fragility of a fall leaf clinging to its branch. As you know, I love poems which reflect the inner workings of nature. You have done a splendid job of writing here Taylor! ~Butch
Exceptional poetry. You've captured so perfectly the essence of the single leaf, as in the beautiful photograph.
Again, exceptional work.
My warmest regards,
CJ
I have been enamored of John Muir for many years. I have several of his books. His calling was one of great importance, and fortitude. He was a power pioneer undaunted in his calling to seek out America.
You have done his legacy credit with this superb word painting. I commend you.
This is exquisite! I love the simplicity with which you capture majestic mountains, the leaf, and the beauty of nature. All with such eloquent words and superb style! Kudo's Taylor! Good to see you posting;-)...ET
Taylor, my friend, This is Autumn and with your pen are thoughts of Mother Nature and her look at the art she creates for all. You respect her...she respects you and from this merger comes twice the beauty. You two are master of creation.
Love,
Susan
Explore the mystery of how nature makes unexpected gifts of creative wonders to an unsuspecting caregiver one late night and early morning in southeastern Georgia, USA.
