With the October issue of the Flaming Rose Journal the Season turns and Autumn unfolds in a variegated tapestry of flaming red, yellow, orange and gold. Everything is changing... the Leaves, the Trees, the Earth, the Air, the Sunlight, the Sky Everything is transforming silently slowly wholly in moments of Pure Autumnal Being



 
 
Autumn Leaf
a leaf falls drifts in cool autumn wind the mind stops thinking suspends judgment momentarily and simply is the wind the leaf the falling the autumn unfolding unfolding simply unfolding
Art and poem by Joe Kirkwood

  Mountain Vistas
 

Sumi ink moutain
   
vistas of blue mountains and sky fill the eyes and mind with images and evocations of pure creative joy as always always

Sumi ink moutain
   
great billowing profusions of white clouds moving low to the ground swallowing green hills and mountains moment by eternal transient moment spontaneously human sensibilities and perception of life and earth correspond in one whole manifestation of beauty a continual new creation and rebirth moment by beautiful moment feelings of beauty and joy arise first from the earth itself through sense and sight words emerge later to describe what the spirit of life inherently wishes to express

Sumi ink tree
   
golden aspen and cottonwood leaves shimmering with life the pure golden energy of sunlight

Sumi  ink mountain with road
   
coming down from the mountains the cottonwoods in the valley by the river are turning gold and autumn is finally everywhere apparent here and now

Sumi ink leaf
   
subtly so slowly the aspen leaves change from green to gold there is no one moment when summer ends and autumn begins life time season and color blend and flow

Sumi ink Moutain
   
snow is falling on the top of the mountains and winter is already present within the autumn wind blowing blowing with ever growing purpose and natural intent


Selected poems and art from the book, "Full Circle", by Joe Kirkwood.
