was there ever

everything in silence
the deepest place


like pages of a book
leaves
flutter
in the warm wind


a place of hushed golden stars
like faces
like hands

The leaves DO look like stars, like faces and hands. Wow. You see so much, Steven. And then you explain what you see so beautifully.

You are far ahead of us in the season. I look forward to golds and reds. Thanks for the preview!

reya - hang on tight for the colours then because they are truly amazing and vivid and even though there's so much every where you look it's like being in a pastry shop - you can't stop looking and looking!!! the golden fish blog will drive people away with it's golden-ness in the next little while i'm sure!!! steven

The thought that it'll all be over soon is unbearable. Perhaps the brevity of the season makes ti all the more magnificent.
