Dear Curiosity Journal,

Savoring the essence of autumn

Staring into sparkles of sunlight

Shining through oak leaves of stained glass

Like an ordinary window of worship

Awestruck by the beauty of the bounty

Bringing basket after basket after basket

Food, medicine, flowers

Nourishment, healing, beauty

Our sustenance, our comfort

For the barren black months ahead

Savor the essence of autumn

~Joy
