After autumn’s end,

Our connection breaks free.

We float to new life.

    I love the idea of autumn as new life, rather than the passing of an old one.

  • Lovely imagery and sentiment.

    I love this. We tend to break the year up into these seasons and months, but in reality, they are intermingled and flow seamlessly from one to the next.

    Love the image. Perfect amount of subjects to look at. Loving the watch too with the open book. This was a great perspective. Old leaves die, we see them again on our journey towards the next autumn. We float like the leaves. Agreed. This was lovely Sandy! 🤗❤️

    Stunning! Haikus are so fun and challenging to fit as much as you can in such a small space. Great job here!
