“What lies beneath is part of the journey, it teaches us how we trust the unseen.”
Leaves fall across the pathway,
a softness to the cover,
they whisper with each footstep,
you’ve carried this so long.
The cover is not hiding wonder,
its revealing more is there, right under.
What is there is soon uncovered,
as the winds reminisce with the seasons of thunder.
-Kerri-Elizabeth-
Tomorrow, the week will close, and October’s cover will turn into October’s unveiling.

I love your poem, Kerri. Leaves become such good metaphors.

Kerri, you know I love leaves, and I have many paintings of them. Even as they fall to the ground, they are so delicate and beautiful. I love what you have written.
