Heaven's Touch

Autumn, to me, is pure heaven especially when, after the morning rain, the sun streaks through the sleepy greenery and illuminates spent blooms in graceful decay. Silver shimmering streams transform the forest into a divine realm.

Fall is the season that speaks to my sensibilities best, inspiring my few lines below for Poets and Storytellers United.

It would seem that one cannot hurry happiness, which for me is simply peace of mind. It does not burst onto the scene. It slips in almost unperceptively and, if lucky, not too fleetingly. Long before sails catch the wind or birds take flight, right conditions are aligning in much the same way that a positive outlook develops gradually and at a steady pace, like a snail crossing a garden path until it reaches a brighter, calmer place than the one it left behind.
