Parchment crumbles, my words fade

The pen has dropped..........."

By all these lovely tokens

September days are here,

With summer's best of weather

And autumn's best of cheer.

----Helen Hunt Jackson, September, 1830-1885

 

 

 

Butterfly on Escallonia blossom

September 1, 2007

 

Butterfly Wings

You saw her, didn't you?

That brief flash of color

So bright and beautiful,

Fading as fast as she came.

 

With tiny little wings,

She fluttered into life,

Landing lightly on our hearts

Like fairy dust.

 

Then, as quick as the wind changes,

She was gone,

Soaring back to where she came,

Freed on butterfly wings.

----Mary E. Rose

"The best is autumn. It is mature, reasonable and serious, it glows moderately and not frivolously...It cools down, clears up, makes you reasonable."
