Autumn - where has the magic gone.

The trees are changing into their winter wear…leaves of colours and branches bare.
Hob Goblins and Specters abound in bushes and trees, lurking around corners and dancing in the leaves that decorate the ground.

The wind now has a bite, she is brisk and chilled. You adjust your hat and tighten your scarf round your neck when she is near.

This once was a time of joy and eagerness. Minds filled with thoughts of Bobbing for Apples, and sweet treats or tricks. Imaginations running wild, no limitations on costume design.

Alas where has that magic gone….. the season has lost it’s hold on my pyshce.

Perhaps it is the woes of adult life that crushes that creativity…who is to say.

This year I know that my thoughts are more with dear friends and their unhappiness.
They number too many for my liking and that would be any number at all. This was donned the name “The Year of Change” and it has been so in many lives. It troubles my soul that I cannot ease their pain. I do earnestly hope that knowing this helps them cope.


...I wish for the days to hear them suffer no more and perhaps that the magic returns.....

  1. I still feel the magic of autumn. I hope your friends rediscover it, at least, during Halloween. Ah the joys of dressing children in costumes topped off with winter coat and boots.

    I could have done with another month of weather in the 60's or 50's. We're staring down at 30's tonight. Brrrrrr......
