they splash in water

Posted on August 20, 2012 by Susan L Daniels

they splash in water
that foretells autumn
in yellow leaves
clinging to the bank

startling
against all that green

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

    So simple but says so much. 🙂 I feel like a yellow leaf clinging to the bank sometimes.

    I see nothing – Nothing! Everything is green green green, summer is here forever.
