O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
Tomorrow's wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.
The crows above the forest call;
Tomorrow they may form and go.

O hushed October morning mild,
Begin the hours of this day slow.
Make the day seem to us less brief.

Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
Beguile us in the way you know.
Release one leaf at break of day;
At noon release another leaf; one from our trees, one far away.

Retard the sun with gentle mist;
Enchant the land with amethyst.

Slow, slow!
For the grapes' sake, if the were all,
Whose elaves already are burnt with frost,
Whose clustered fruit must else be lost--
For the grapes' sake along the all.

~~October ~~ Robert Frost

Sing-song of the wind
in the space its domination
of liberated symphonies,
like the will
to live these moments
in perfect stillness.

This silent note flows
to make itself dawn of the
returning time
of stories and melodies.

I understand then the ineffability
which makes me considering
my present
as an instant as long as the infinity.

2007 Dec. 3rd.

Hope its well translated.

A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken. - James Dent

You inspire us to poetry, John. Another fine Frost poem, so wonderfully written. I wish that October days would slow down and leaves not so quickly fall so that we might enjoy the color longer too. It would seem that you have captured an amethyst enchanted portion of the forest path too in this lovely nature image.

I really love your title John. The bench in your pic is an invitation to a meditation time within the light. Another great job here my friend.

I know some Jack Frost poems. Is Robert his brother? :) Great photo and poem for accompaniment Shads. I will sit on your bench and listen to the light as I watch the gentle breezes. Great shot.

John, you could fill an entire building with your photos and I'll never get bored with them.
