If I discovered
a magic carpet
of ruby leaves,
waiting
in the middle
of nowhere,
I would call you
to come
and make
a hide-away
in it
with me.
And there
we'd breathe
until
soft white drops
caressed
our skin
telling us
it was time,
to
pack up
ruby-red memories
and go.

love it. it made me think of times as a kid playing in big piles of leaves, and of course who wouldnt go on a magic carpet ride.
That was beautiful, and the photo was a perfect match.
That is so beautiful
Isn't nature wonderful - what an exquisite display.
That's beautiful, Bonnie. xa
Lovely poem + stunning image = takes my breath away.
Lovely poem Bonnie. You've put a smile on my face this morning.
Exquisite, really. Your words matched so perfectly with the image, who wouldn't want to discover the magic of a ruby red carpet of leaves!
Let us be reminded by your words that magic carpets, our place to pause, our place to soar are ever preset for the taking. The flutter and peace of your "ruby leaves" are here embraced in joy.
Who wouldn't want to ride that magic carpet...stunning! I didn't know you were such a poet either ;)
This made me want to have someone to call other than my son, which would be fun but not romantic...LOL!
much love
Bravo -- the perfect marriage of words and images. The red reminds me of the hibiscus flower tea we sipped on our dahabeya in Egypt.
Beautiful hon..just beautiful! I so needed that tonight! Hugs, Sarah
And there we'd play the most magical ruby red games of our imagination, and when we felt the whtie drops, the ruby red drops wouldn't leave us as we went away. Yes, I see it, I feel it. Just so beautiful. Thank you, Bonnie. xxox
Wow. Stunning imagery - beautiful poem to match.
wow that is so beautiful - the words and the amazing picture. Be careful not to kick of your ruby slippers there - you might not find them again!
I will wait for that call.... Beautiful
Thank you EVERY ONE! I think I will be making a lot of calls and that there will be several of us playing in those lucious leaves.
We will dance and sing the Ruby song.
We will celebrate each moment.
Beautiful.
Magical.

Just beautiful, Bonnie. Prose and photos.
Beautiful. I love the photo, such beautiful colors.
What a magical forest and poem! Your words are perfect for fall. I loved your fall photos in the post below.
Quite lovely, Bonnie. This reminds me of a request made of me by a dying friend to go out to the garden and roll in the leaves for him.
I love this, Bonnie! It is so romantic...simply beautiful. And the picture is perfect!!!
Love, Love, Love the ruby red memories!
Thank you for sharing this, Bonnie :) Your words evoke such a beautiful image in my brain.
Hugs :)
