So lovely, Bjorn.
Beautiful and sad.
Lovely indeed. 🙂
Fall is a season that causes reflection on death. This piece is somber but lovely Bjorn
I can see an apple orchard out my window. I like to listen to the plunks as the workers toss them into wooden crates at harvest time. I love your graphic. It looks like an apple to me. 🙂
What a sad story, you’ve made the feeling of loss stronger with your stanza Bjorn. A real autumn feeling came over me …
A wonderful visual. Well done.
Bjorn, first off, you have to hand it to Magritte, that ironic title.
Bittersweet, “my final autumn apple,” feels like a loss much deeper. Lovely writing, both of you. Peace, Amy
May your final autumn apple bring you much winter cider warmth my friend!
