Autumn Call

Waking to the sun shining
in my window
I look out to a misty haze
that nature does show
For a show is what she puts
on indeed
Every autumn for us all
shedding colourful leaves

Cobwebs in the bushes
glitter like diamonds
I remember these as a kid
walking to school seeing millions
Wrapped up tight in gloves
and scarf’s
Whilst the sun shined down
and we played and laughed

The mist shrouds fields
and building alike
As a man disappears
through it on his bike
It engulfs the river
like a blanket
And the people who
are setting stalls for market

I think I’ll go now
and disappear myself
Into the welcoming
autumn call I’ll melt
The all enveloping
October mist
Swallows me up
Away from life’s twists

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life. I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones. Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible. My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love. I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''
