AUTUMN in NZ






Great beauty during Autumn...


Autumn is the best season of the year. the rustic colours of the beauty of the trees would definitely charm you.

Last Autumn, I took some shots of the area near the Boundary Mosque. This year, we headed to the Taitoa Arboretum to get shots of the falling leaves. While we were busy shooting, hubby was busy fishing in Raglan. I am contented as long as he finds something that he enjoys.

I's Autumn Again
Leaves whisper the sound of our past
In loss they pay a descent
To the ground we fall

It’s autumn again
Our song is sung by the wind
Echoes of loss and grief
Through chilled air we wade

It’s autumn again
The waters grow as cold as our hearts
We are alike – crusted in ice
In ourselves we freeze

It’s autumn again
Flowers vanish from our sadness
Our beauty grows weak
Covered in frost we wither

It’s autumn again
The rain falls like our tears
Can’t dry our eyes
From the sky we descend

It’s autumn again
The sun shines then fails like us
Our sight becomes a wintry gray
Lost in darkness we will fade

It’s autumn again
