Photographs, poems and haiku by Derek Ross
Just as Spring starts to show itself, a wee poem about Autumn. Ah well…
October October taps on my bedroom window. A cold sound, relentless. Out there, Autumn slowly kills, in its usual, beautiful way. First light reveals a golden irony. Leaves wave from cold branches. They beckon me to bear witness to the richness of their going. But gold, is not the colour of death, and life continues at the bud. Isn’t this what we all hope for? A last flush of beauty, a promise of rebirth. Derek Ross.

I have always felt that Autumn is a time of rebirth. There is a warm energy that pervades the world, a gentle reminder to embrace “a promise of rebirth.”

My favourite time of years to be honest. Mind you, with the Scottish weather, the leaves dont last too long!
