Little jewels

Life,

getting in the way
of words ~

stuffing them  down until each day
looks like an overpacked suitcase
going
around
and
around
on a luggage carousel.

Then suddenly,
Autumn.

Casting all her little jewels at our feet.

The weather is turning.

And we,
hidden in the softness;

bathe in the stars.

Here comes
quiet love.
