Renewal

Today,after a very foggy start to the day, my Painting For Mindfulness Group explored the theme of renewal looking at leaves through Neurographic art.

The bubbles represent water on the leaves – decay to new life through replenishment of the earth .

Autumn wraps itself around the house 
In a blanket of white
Holding it tight 
Punctuated by the robin’s hallowed voice
Too bright;

Fallen leaves
In patterned flight 
Press into the porcelain tiled floor 
Imprint 
And cling for life;
 
Spangled leaves of orange and lime 
Lie on the alter of  grass
In sacrifice
From day to night
Stolen light;
 
Stripped branches 
Fringed in fingered form 
Semi- clothed in muted hue
Nature’s plight
A poignant sight;
  
Through sinking air 
Energies drawn to the wet ground
Ignite 
Out of sight        
Renewal of the earth
In silent fight  
Spears decay to life.
