Autumn is a time for contemplation as the darkness lengthens. It’s a time marked by the three-day Hallowtide observance. It is when we honour all souls – as I remember our father’s untimely passing in a long-gone October. We also appreciate the great generosity of nature. It is a bitter-sweet time and I wanted to market by this poem.
Abundance all around
Understated in its bountiful beauty
Tingeing leaves in roans and russets, rich and replete.
Undulating mists evoke
Memories of such seasons
Nebulous
notions of soulful spirits, of pastness and peace.
This is a recent watercolour of mine and the wonderfully atmospheric
picture of Tarbert harbour is by Jamie
Comyn in “All things Tarbert”.
Jamie kindly gave me permission to use her photograph.
