a sigh or two



a scattering of stubborn days clings to season's end.
if she could, she would take a mighty breath and disperse them above and behind her, for this has been a year of upheaval and heartache.
and as she blows, she would wish inwardly: for the bareness to bestow purification and peace, and for the end to be a beginning - of growth and grace and future.

  5. Those leaves also looked like birds to me... crows in flight or so. The sky in the back seem so incongruous!

    Ah! I love it! I'm pretending these are written with me in mind. ;) That fits so well.
    And the picture is ethereal. Gorgeous!
