Fall Color
I'm looking out the window,
happy to be warm and dry
as I watch the rain sheet down
and wash away the fall color.
I think back to the paintbox
of reds and oranges and golds and yellows
that decorated upstate New York
and soaked us in a riot of color.

I remember a Saturday filled with color
and kites and wind turbines,
friendships formed over food and images,
beautiful souls shining through their vessels.

"Kissed with Light" © 2009 Meri Arnett-Kremianwatching the light dance off the planes of her face,
and wondering if she sees herself as beautiful
like the camera sees her.
"Wondering" © 2009 Meri Arnett-KremianProbably not. It's easy for us to see
the beauty around us. It's much harder to see
the beauty within us,
even when it lights up the world around us.
Such a blessed place, Earth,
filled with beautiful people and luscious color.
Enjoy your gift of sight today.
And stay warm.
