gently
twisting
turning
spinning
softly
falling
tumbling
eligantly
dancing
in the breeze
showering down
rich red
bright yellow
shades of orange
and brown
landing
on the ground
like a patchwork
carpet
gently
twisting
turning
spinning
softly
falling
tumbling
eligantly
dancing
in the breeze
showering down
rich red
bright yellow
shades of orange
and brown
landing
on the ground
like a patchwork
carpet
Sadness fills my soul
my heart is heavier than lead
my head is hung
I can only look down
the floor is grey like my skin
darkness is all around me
the bounce in my voice has left
the smile on my face has gone
I cannot find the light
I cannot find the happiness
I know the change is coming
I just don’t know what to do
to make things change
to make things better
sadness stays in my soul
Grass looks white
heavy with dew
my boots leave a trail
where I have been
from the woods
dark reds and browns
orange and yellow leaves
carpet the ground
the deep leaves
crunch underfoot
my feet kick them high
I smile inside
the inner child
is just peaking out
what a magical walk today
Dark mornings
Cold air
Sun hidden
Early evenings
Comforting food
Stocking cupboards
Cosy bed
Hibernation wanted
Winter’s coming
Long mornings
Deep sleep
Bear mode
Is on its way
Morning is dark as a raven
the fog hangs in the air
street lights elongate shadows
slate grey sky covered in fog
smoke wafts from chimney tops
mixes with damp air
soggy leaves underfoot
small drips of water fall from the tree
the smell of autumn turning
I have succumbed
with wooly had
scarf and coat
and welly boots
no more the sandles
floaty dresses,
floppy hat
Summer is now but a distant memory
and winter is ever closer
I don’t want to get up
its too cosy in here
Its cold outside
its warm in here
Its dark in the woods
its light in the house
I want to stay where
its warm and dry
there is one little thing
that makes me get up
the dog wants a walk
and I just cant say no
I just cant wait
for the end of the day
when I can cosy up again
