autumn leaves turn red
rain drops like tears
all we see or seem to be
an eternal dream

On a grand scale, it really is like the leaves are sand slipping through thin old fingers….rain drops and tear drops like sand in an hourglass ….[sigh]
And your photos are magnificent — the layout and all — goes so well with this. 🙂
