September


Just wait.
Dry- and dreariness resolve,
the weight shifts (not lifts...)
Ennui turns from boredom
into clear-eyed grief, now
to be understood, simply
as love.

    I once forgot to plant autumn crocuses and one of them flowered away inside the poly bag that I bought them in.

  10. Thanks all. I'm probably not as gloomy as this sounds; but it's interesting to note the universality of these seasonally affected moods...

    ( No hydrangeas were harmed in the making of the picture - it was already floating there.)
