This is absolutely beautiful and very inspiring. I just love these lines:
"Even
abare
I am not left
vulnerable
or alone
for my roots
stretch deep
and grow long"
Thanks for these motivating words, Epiphany, they can uplift anyone's spirits. This is truly "A Walk Within" where both the title and the verse do justice to each other.
This is really beautiful, I'm fav'n it! This reminds me of a place I walk (it's a state forest) that is just sooooo gorgeous and this poem made me feel like I was walking there right now, (I'm at work n can't do that right now) but I really needed this to set my mind straight, thanks tiff and keep it up.
Wonderful imagery fills your words with beauty! Oh, yes, I could read this one as a lovely look at autumn; but, just perhaps, it's even more beautiful as a metaphoric view of life. Whichever your intent, this one is splendid and an enjoyable read. :-) Sharon
I like this and think i understand what it is was that you were trying to achieve when you wrote it...i have a similar piece called colourful reflections....id love your thoughts on it...well done on your piece...it has a lovely feel ...and is the words are very pretty....i love nature...stormy
This was pretty. Like an extended haiku. I'll never forget my first time driving on the Merrit Parkway on my way to boston. It was like I was driving through a tunnel of trees. You just reminded me of that. Thanks.
Autumn is an inspirational season. This is a simple and enjoyable poem. I always enjoy a good fall time poem. Its actually raining right now, I'm in the city, but there are enough trees to understand.
Having been raised in New Hampshire I tend to still have an affinity for the feelings and colors of autumn. Now that I live in Florida I have to borrow from my memory bank.

I notice how you like using the word "exploding". You are sure a powerful gal.
Fall is truly an inspiration for you, isn't it? You are mesmerized by the explosions of colour.
I like the third stanza the best:
"Even
abare
I am not left
vulnerable
or alone
for my roots
stretch deep
and grow long" --> although fall is a time for trees to go barren, you do not worry, for your root stretch deep. Beautiful, Tiff.
