Whisper of autumn

A hush drifts down the amber air,
Soft gold in every glance;
The trees, like weary dancers, wear
Their final flame and stance.

The brook hums low a twilight tune,
While geese carve songs through sky;
The fading warmth of afternoon
Bids summer’s pulse goodbye.

Each leaf, a fleeting ember’s sigh,
Descends with tender grace—
To rest upon the earth and lie,
A quilt time can’t erase.

And in that hush, the heart grows still—
As if it, too, has known
The beauty found in letting go,
In turning, falling—home.

I am currently raising money to pay for ongoing psychotherapy. I am a survivor of complex trauma, I have dissociative identity disorder, and complex PTSD.  Therapy can be very expensive.

If you feel like donating to my fund you can donate using pay pal. My pay pal email for donating is:

Don’t feel you have to, there is no pressure, but I’m grateful for any donations that are received.

Again thanks for visiting!
