secrets awakened by an autumn breeze
their lullaby once a safe haven
rise up as whispers in the trees
drifting hither and yonder
morphing as amber leaves
falling to the ground
renewing cause
secrets heard
loud and
clear

Secrets, whispers, autumn leaves … lovely!

Beautiful photograph and I’m so ready for fall. Not winter, but fall.
Have a fabulous day, Eugenia. ♥
Thank you, Sandee, and me too!
Hauntingly beautiful.
Thank you, Joseph!
If only I could walk in that scene!☺️
Me too – it will be a while where I live.
Beautiful. A walk in fall leaves. 🙂
Thank you, Suzette!
My pleasure🙂
Great photo. I would love to walk through autumn’s falling leaves. I am so over hot and humid. Just need some cool breezes to scatter the crabbiness away.
I am ready for cooler weather too, Patricia!
Lovely…
Thank you, Bette!

Thank you, Anisha!
You’re most welcome! (:
What a wonderful poem and I just love the form, it works so well
Thank you very much, Pam!
It won’t be long before secrets untold are awaken once again with the changing of the leaves. I can’t believe how quickly the months are clicking by, can you? Nicely done. Now, I’m ready for fall’s arrival!
Thank you, Cathy, and I am ready for fall, as well. We need a cooling period in many ways.

An excellent poem. I don’t normally appreciate Gifs, but this one really works as a companion to the poem
Thank you, Derrick! This GIF seemed pretty calm. If the movement is overly repetitive, then I feel they are too distracting.
Quite so
So many secrets are loud and clear still they are secrets.
Yes, so true, Swati!
I always wondered how well the second set of nestlings manage… As well as the 5th generation of Monarch butterflies (they are the last ones of summer and are the ones that migrate!)
Interesting! I didn’t know Monarch butterflies migrated.
