happy discoveries
we found our way in and out of the corn maze
by following the grandies through the rows and fields
then found hot air balloons
followed their colors
past the moon and the trees
saw their beautiful flight and landing
all on an afternoon spent among things raised from the earth.

October breathed poetry —

and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of autumn.’

bounded by and equinox and a solstice.
