Seasonal Sigh of Golden Leaves

An Autumn display of leaves covering the ground reminds us Spring and Summer are long gone and Winter is on its way.

On a recent walk in the neighborhood with my dog I enjoyed a golden sea of fallen leaves. I was absolutely amazed at how far-reaching the leaves of this tall maple tree were, covering the ground of two properties and the alley in between. And, the tree still had quite a few leaves remaining that would fall later in the season.

While this colorful display of nature was a gift to be taken in by the senses, its beauty also gave way to thoughts of many seasons of my life gone by. I admit to reminiscing a sorrowful moment or two of time gone by. Still, I embraced the fact that the season of youthful greenery would spring forth once again in the coming year.

I felt this the perfect picture of the golden leaves of life to turn into a greeting card for noteworthy thoughts to share with friends or family. Inside top of the note card is Haiku © Ruth Cox.

Fallen leaves of trees

Sigh shivery shades of green
