wet leaves underfoot – v4


suddenly feeling the call
drawn to the wood
to leave the office space
the chair where I was writing
to breathe wet air
going outside in the mist
out beyond the edge

stepping from the grass
wet leaves underfoot
a soft, muted carpet
colors fading, autumn,
browns and pale yellows
but revived by water
evergreens and mosses

as if behind a curtain
another realm, dimension
in the awakening
the revealing to me
sharing its secrets
deep into autumn
the clocks to fall back

damp woods, clouds
color saturated
intense, urgent
almost iridescent
giving to my lens
to my presence
wanting me to see

light bursting forth
from leaves, moss, from rock,
drawn out by the water
a different color spectrum
revealing the secrets
sharing something special
beauty in the common
