This years hot summer came with major challenges for me. But the arrival of autumn and cooler temperatures was a great relief!
I hope you are also fine, creative and in high spirits!
Warmly,

It’s about damn time you posted again! And the wait has been worth it, with your high quality gems.
– I was going to post something involving trees/leaves tonight actually, but there’s a glitch in posting currently, It has to wait.
But we have your wonderful poem to inspire us, and it does. I love the calm of this “ending” towards life. It brings a peace of mind that life has been rewarding. It is a soothing tone. What a great approach.
wonderful write, Elke.-

This is so beautiful. You captured that moment and made me feel the loss but then the beauty of life. They existed.
