Faces in the Leaves belongs to the following groups:

Basic picture is:
we are the leaves in this life..
floating in and out with Autumn’s purpose;
Springs release
Winters contemplation,
In
Summer
We fly and flit and flirt to our hearts content
then again we fall with a thud
back to earth
in the muck and mire of our own doing
We Co-Mingle and Co-Create
we feel better bunched together in
what we realize may be a bit of a mess..
But ahhhh winter comes
Brain Freeze!
We retreat
We Contemplate death
We die
and in Spring
we are born again
With a bit of You inside me
I create again a new Beginning
for Our paths will cross
again and again
and we will wander though the seasons
round our journey again and again,
Because really to be honest,
My world of Creation seems to blossom better
with my knowing of you
in and of my Life,
the one that seems to be called forth
from my eternal nature,
my tree … is your tree too.
lets dance in the wind baby
because we can!

Not a trace of wind tonight,
but I feel like dancing though…
can I have this dance Linaji?
Leaves are falling again here
colored by the kiss of cool nights…
so many unseen faces come and gone
with desperate hope to touch
the dream before they
touch the ground.
...
Shall we then?
The fall leaves our faces with a smile just like I do now after reading your graceful poem. Amazed.
linaji replied
I would dance with you any time of day or night my dearest.. .. nice to know your seasons are changing and soon it will be full of the ground dwellers.. but they look like their doing ok!! xxx

As always the passion ..sensitivity and deep love of ‘All ’ leaves me speechless !!
Jack Grace
We dance in the wind, slicing through the air to earth below, to delight in the muck and mire. We make our way up your tree veins to sprout green wings again, making ready for another chance to fly.
Marion Cullen
A wonderful tribute to the seasons of the heart. I feel you in every line and every word.

Evidences hurt, sometimes.
Cycles hurt sometime.
Specially when one would love to stop the motion,
of the “leaving”.
I am….”leaving”.
Crackled body, quenched seconds.
I am…. “leaving”.
But the thoughts and feelings
are on the same tree…
that without sensibility…
just have spitted me out….
for ever….and ever…
again.
Rosa (mmmmm….xxxx)

Should have read this through better the first time… the feature in CORE brought me back.
And yes Lina, autumn is a beautiful time of year in which we reflect on our life’s brief cycle and instead of dreading death, we look forward to our rebirth… that is, moving on. But with a piece of our previous life in our blood to make us wiser in our choices.
In this you have hit on a timeless theme that affects every one of us deeply.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom!
linaji replied
WELL.. I love to Co-Mingle with you on all levels.. you have made me very happy today.. I am crying.. (happy tears dearest) xxx
