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.

    The sky looks so beautiful in this photo and I love the image of those last leaves clinging to life.

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

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

    The blowing of the wind is unpredicatable as are people's lifes. I just hope, if it blows, it blows a lot of warm air in your direction
