Colours of the Great Oak

Colours of the Great Oak

As my summer now turns to autumn
I reflect on the warmth
and beauty that has surrounded me 

and very soon, when the bright green leaves from this magnificent oak 
turn a dusky shade of pink and orange 

well, I shall watch them change gracefully 

because  there's nothing more joyful

to see than that, at least for me.

I tell you this that I've never mentioned to you. When I very young I was dyslexic.
I think I might still read things in many ways because of this

You are a true poet in every way, to have such a passion for words as a dyslexic is on another level, I always believed you were special and today you have let me in. Kudos my dear friend, thank you for opening up.  🌹
