Letters tumble from broken leaves that autumn cast away
Whilst the wind takes hold grabbing them from hand to
form words I nuzzle close, gathering them in my arms
before my icy breath scatters them into sentences
around my feet
Mesmerised with crackled colour bouncing before my eyes
it read, ‘winter darkness now intrudes into pores, flicking
like tree limbs broken, its fork tongue upon the skin’
and we at times let it puncture, along with inevitable cimmerian
of the Season, our moods disengage, until we see the sun
once more

Ramblings From A Mum 
Lovely use of metaphor Jenny to create that sense of gloom in your world and a longing for the sun to appear again.
Thank you very much Michael. I never used or worked much with Metaphors, but I find myself pulled to them more…and yes I wait for the sun.
Even in Melbourne if you wait long enough the sun will shine…
True Michael..true
The gloom feels heavy and cold and the leaves smell of death and doom.
I wait for the sun to shine Tess, thank you for reading x
😀 I hope the sun shines soon.
…. Mesmerised with crackled colour bouncing before my eyes…

so true….the seasons affect our moods…the long night of winter casts a shadow…especially when we try to operate outside of the cycle….
