Beauty in the Ordinary

10 October 2015


The view from my bedroom early one morning this week.............



We have enjoyed reading and doing this together this week...........

Gathering Leaves

In Autumn the falling leaves 
Run races on the paths,
Tumble head over heels
And catch against the tufts of grass.

I gather them in a heap
With a stiff brush and a rake,
Though they are light as feathers
And do their best to escape.

Then I splash right into the heap
And the leaves wash over me
With a long swishing sound
Like a wave of the sea
