Thoughts




Thoughts

by Jacqueline Bouvier


I love the Autumn,

And yet I cannot say

All the thoughts and things

That make one feel this way.


I love walking on the angry shore,

To watch the angry sea;

Where summer people were before,

But now there's only me.


I love wood fires at night

That have a ruddy glow.

I stare at the flames

And think of long ago.


I love the feeling down inside me

That says to run away

To come and be a gypsy

And laugh the gypsy way.


The tangy taste of apples,

The snowy mist at morn,

The wanderlust inside you

When you hear the huntsman's horn.


Nostalgia - that's the Autumn,

Dreaming through September

Just a million lovely things

I always will remember.

I love the pictures, Ashley!
I am glad to see you did get some of the fall scenery!
Lord willing, see you Sunday!
