17 October






the road through the wood

 smells of autumn

in October

we walk in dappled sunlight

and it's all lacy leaves of orange and yellow

footsteps crinkle and shuffle

and kick up leaves

as we go traipsing along

to the high field

where the deer come out

to feed in the twilight



we are going back again tomorrow

acorns and yellow feathers and giant oak leaves
 
 await us there
 

treasures of infinite value

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you
