Simpler Life
Frigid cold splinters the world Darkness thick as blindness holds Blankets can't drive steam from breath Yet, Sleep Warmth grow rich with the orange glow
OH J, BTW, the poem that Arash wrote for your previous post, It's out of this world! It's about; humans, heaven, earth, judgment day and love. I hope he'd come back and translate it for you [it’s written in Persian], but he won't, I'll do it. Cheers :)
Farzad, thanks! This poem was inspired this weekend. When we arrive at the cabin in cold weather, it takes quite a while for the wood stove to warm it up. Being in charge of the fire, I'm obsessed about whether it's healthy or not. In the dark, a good fire lights the ceiling with orange light. Seeing that light gives me a sense of comfort now. The picture was taken early the next morning.
Jane and Kelly, the November forest is full of interesting contrasts. Bare trees, blue skies, and browing leaves.
jason- This makes me think of walking through a thick layer of fallen leaves on a cold morning, and later warming myself by an old woodstove or fireplace.

Beautiful orange colour in the leaves; a very wintry feel.
ReplyDeleteLove the contrasting colors! Great!

Looks like a beautiful place to stay bundled up inside. Just don't step on any wood splinters:)

Mermaid, a perfect place for wool blankets.
ReplyDeleteJeff, perfect! And the acrid wood smoke hangs in the air.
