September 2002 Second Prize "Autumn Enchantment" Golden sunlight bathes the endless grove of trees, adorned in harvest colours. This pallet of soft hues draws the eye... sending it wandering, aimlessly, across a patchwork vista. I feel the sweet enchantment of an autumn day. I breathe deeply to inhale the pungent odours offered by the ancient mother, Earth. She whispers to me, softly... she sooths my weary mind, allowing it to open and absorb the beauty captured in this fleeting moment... and, as I drink in every morsel she provides, my thoughts stray, unbeckoned, to the warmth of knowing you... your teasing voice and gentle words... your laughter, and the anecdotes which tickle me, until I am reduced to merry giggles... my soul is healed... the memory of our shared time brings a soft smile to my lips. It makes me glow and sigh contentedly, as I realize just how much I love you. Contributed by Amethyst (S) Copyright © 2002 Liana Brittain. May not be used without the author's written permission.
