The wind so wild last night and this morning that most of the new gold has been blown from the Sweetgums, and is scattered like handfulls of gold coins across the green grass.

So glad to see you "here" again. You must be back in WV. We had the wild blowy thing around here too without the thunder. Lovely sweetgum photo. Hang on to all the beautiful things, especially those that point to Edwin.
Yes, I think the spirit lingers for a while. And muses.
Water gathering
most days I wait
through blue and sun
till dusk
or even later
and the rose has faded
to lavender, to gray
some days, the sleet
has started
and the leaves underfoot
are slick with ice
somehow I'm never sorry
and never learn
one night I waited
till the stars were out
dropped the bucket into
sound, only felt the weight
of it filling
and the night full of stars
and the river full of stars
and the bucket full of stars
come morning, the coffee
is also full of stars

The leaves fall and nourish the forest floor. We are never the same after someone we love leaves us. Forever changed, for the better.
