brittle autumn leaves
that crumble in the
north wind…

autumn
one in four challenge – week 2
week two…for this week’s ongoing challenge I went into Perfect Effects 4 and added a layer from a preset, “whiteness”, which I created some time ago, then added a layer from Perfect Effect’s True Film category, “green velvet”, and then found that by playing around with darkening the edges (highlighting, clarity, and shadows) seemed to add more depth of field.

fall flowers…all faded
blow if you will,
fall wind–the fall flowers
have all faded.

glowing leaves
fallen to the ground
like those words of old–
glowing leaves

light remains…in the leaves
the sun goes down—
but evening light remains
in the leaves

still autumn is here…
the sun beats down
but still autumn is here
in morning dew

who paints the image
Who speaks the sound of an echo?
Who paints the image in a mirror?
Where are the spectacles in a dream?
Nowhere at all — that’s the nature of mind!

fluttering
leaf alone, fluttering
alas, leaf alone,
fluttering…
fluttering down the wind

my final autumn
after the autumn storm
after the autumn storm
lamplight from a doorway
at the village edge

autumn dusk
being alone
may also be pleasant
autumn dusk

separates my hermitage
the pile of
fallen leaves
separates my hermitage
further and further
from the world of woe.
