sometimes my dance with autumn

stanza 3

autumn

that dance

sometimes
a lot like grieving
a recognition
the sadness
approaching
the death
of so much
but in
denial

the beauty
lingers

near

everywhere

stanza 2

sometimes my dance with autumn  

is as 

a grand entrance

 

a quick step

filled with joy
 

colours cascading

falling around me

flowing in grandeur

excitedly

a polka

free form

all about

I pause  

exhausted

wait
alone
fading
watching
until the next

stanza 1
sometimes my dance with autumn is about dancing 

with the excitement 

of blazing orange fading off  into gentler

muted tones

with a wispy dress

floating around me 

trying to carry me up

into the vast

beyond

I feel the need

to linger

to dance without thought
then meander

slowly

gently

into that glorious

pathway

sometimes

a feather is more than just a feather
sometimes a new found friend
is more than just a freind

 a few months ago I was
without
Debbie Smith Kaich Jones
in my life

 when we both happened to pause
at the comment of Jenny Doh
an inquiry
about art saves

ever since then
I have been blessed
with Debbie's presence

no
she is not always an angel
neither am I

her words
her images
touch me
though
in a place
few touch me

I learned Debbie would be in the April/May/June issue of Somerset Life. As soon as I picked the edition up in the bookstore ~ I felt a shiver. I felt a calm. I felt a knowing. I had to calm my breath. I needed to take it all in.

Yes, I have been blessed with Debbie's presence. I have been very inspired. My own feather collection, at least part of ~


And a couple of images from my very own copy of Somerset Life ~ my tiny little part of Debbie which I can touch with my own hands ~
Today Debbie is being recognized for her wonderful blog in Artful Blogging. Some friends and I have chosen to honour Debbie for all of her accomplishments and to bring her to the world's attention for her fabulosity. Dear freinds I introduce to you Debbie Smith Kaich Jones.
