Low Water Dam

 


Autumn winds rustle at loose and falling leaves.
The absence of rushing water is peaceful
but unnatural, a dry season indeed.
None of that matters as I stop,
taking in all that shimmers of fall around me.
I pause, to enjoy what I otherwise would miss.

    -That, to me, is in a nutshell what poetry is for.

  5. Beautiful images. I live near a river but this year has been a wet one with 60 feet of snow in the Sierra. But we do need those pauses to reflect. Thanks you for sharing it at dVerse. Victoria

  6. An excellent capture of a moment and a feeling, as well as a word-painting of nature, peaceful but unnatural--a more sombre undertone.
