autumn II [fairy autumn]

i call this "my valentine tree" because the leaves blush like sunkissed lovers.

*

for time-defying romance & a painfree lesson in patience, either sit, stand or lie under an autumn tree. you can

(a) play a game of "catch a ray of sun on your tongue"

(b) let the tree paint maps on your skin with sun & everchanging foil

or (c) when the amber leaves rain down, see how many surprise you with a wayward kiss

*

you fill me with glee

my valentine tree

*

*

if you dance on a carpet of fallen leaves, you'll find that you never dance alone. just imagine a fairy under each leave...

*

*

...& in the golden forrest i find solace & peace
*
*

when i look at this photograph, it feels like i'm floating under the water, looking up at the trees & the branches run like veins through a sea of leaves...
*

autumn is a time to find your inner fairy
