winding down you go

crunch below my feet on ground

mulch you now become

    We do indeed wind down; I'm "winding down" for the impending dark and wet winter here in Sweden. Loved this! You've been selected as part of this week's Dynamic Duo on FB's Vocal Social Society! See you there Shirley!

    This is perfect. I love how you take the very facts of what happens and turn them into something truly eloquent and poetic. Well done, Shirley.
