Poem -
Charging Point ( Spoken Word )
In the centre of the wood.
End of the summer,
last leaves whisper goodnight.
Yawning, in the breeze of Autumns coming.
I sit against the tree.
I accept the seasons change.
Leaning, in every sense,
against my charging point.

Very beautifully spoken and written.Β I feel this often during the season change.Β It is relatable material
In England this year autumn has persisted, we are just beginning to transition into winter. I still walk in the woods every day and the sentiments are real. The poem, though, comes from the artwork.Β
He is a landscape artist who works with the landscape. He creates his pieces and leaves them in the landscape to decay and disappear. Poetic in itself.
You are so good with nature writes.
Thank you so much Poetess. I am very lucky to be surrounded by nature and I look to her for inspiration all the time. Thanks again

BeautifulΒ write Nigel. I can relate to the treesΒ and the seasons. Here I am in a windswept treeless place fronting the Atlantic ocean but I love woodlands and the changing colours of Autumn.
Thank you DD, It is odd in a way. I love my woods and that my town is pretty much surrounded by woodland but I was born by the sea and the sea was my early childhood. I still miss the sea and the woods are my solace.
If you go far enough back in my pages you can find a poem called Wells Beside The Sea that kind of sums that up. No spoken word but the painting is now on my living room wall.
I am very pleased you enjoy my work DD, thank you

I love the woods. Moved to CornwallΒ 25 years ago so the seascape and the moors have been my outlook. But trees have a comforting elemental qualityΒ to them which is lacking here. I'll see if I can find Wells beside the sea.
Keep writing.
DD
You too DD ( not that poets can ever stop themselves from writing )
