the sunlight on your face
wheat-golden as new day
grains of honey sprinkling oat milk sky
i fall into trance
these plum-kissed blooms
enticing blustering wind
to hiccups & heaves on leaves
edging with first rust of autumn

Wish you could be sitting here with me, Grace. I just gave out a huge sigh when I finished reading this. Just beautiful. Every line - but most especially for me "grains of honey sprinkling oat milk sky"
ReplyDeletesuch an idyllic place you describe. love the sound of "plum-kissed blooms"
ReplyDeleteAs a lover of autumn, I am enamoured of our poem, Grace. I love the use of colour, light and the idea of leaves being edged with first rust of autumn. I sighed too.
ReplyDeleteYou made the best of autumn... the color and harvest combined. wheat and oat talks of plenty and bliss
ReplyDeleteOh, this is constituted with beauty and bliss. This is very calming as well. Well done!
ReplyDeleteIt's the gold that comes at the end of summer, turning to rust at the edge of the leaves. Lovely.
