one scarred leafy pal hangs on in nurturing november
sharing his autumn magic with a child of these woods
hoping the leaf blowers will stay far away from his spirit
colors of glee are drifting around me as i stop for a chat
i freely admit i am like dear dr.dolittle on my autumn hikes
and yeppers multiple gifts of nature love to gab all the while
i dare you to put your face to the photo now and just listen...

"17" heartfelt conversations with my lyrical leafy pals o'wonder :):):)

infinite treasures to behold as we dream~~~dare~~~dive :):):)

deep in fall freedom forever family forest is where you;ll always find me...j>a>e> 17 :):):)



inspired by mystical minnie driver's haunting voice as she laments in phantom of the opera's "learn to be lonely"


"child of the wilderness
born into emptiness
learn to be lonely
learn to find your way in darkness
who will be there for you,
comfort and care for you?
learn to be lonely
learn to be your one companion
never dreamed out in the world
there are arms to hold you

you've always known
your heart was on its own
so laugh in your loneliness
child of the wilderness
learn to be lonely
learn how to love life that is lived alone
learn to be lonely
life can be lived
life can be loved
alone..."
