An orange-brown maple leaf on grey pavement. © Stefanie Neumann - #KBFPhotography Interim On hazy streets between appointments wet leaves dapple the ground. A cautionary note to slow down. As I decelerate, I find myself in tune with large hands that are softly descending from maple trees to lay a golden blanket over the sleepy Earth. Dwelling in the interim of Winter's first breaths, every tree, and every little patch of lawn becomes a living zen painting. And they say there is no such thing as magic. © Stefanie Neumann - @KokopelliBFree

WHISPER

One evening
fall fell upon us
like a curtain across rainbows

#KBFWalk

A brief one through the pig runs to the post office. Met playful titmice. Saw a goldcrest. Found three apples.

Sometimes it's the little things that save you from getting lost.

Today's contribution to #vss365 - #language, #BlueSkyRelay - #liminal, #PennedReveries - hands held, #OurPoetryX @ourpoetryx.bsky.social - against the wave, #fairytalepoets - sweet and cold, #BrknShards - Dear Nobody, #FoxProse @darkxfer.bsky.social - revolution under retreat

#WritingCommunity
"Dear Nobody, That's who you told me you were, anyway, with this sweet, and cold, look on your face. I said nothing in return, because sometimes language eludes the heart. Mine was sinking, in that moment, upon the realisation that you seem to have such little warmth for yourself. You were the rock in turbulent waters that stood against the wave which otherwise would have drowned me. You hands held me steady, your arms kept me warm. I survived. In this eternally liminal space called life, we all are somebody to someone, and more often than not, unaware of it. For me, you are somebody." - His revolution against himself under retreat, he read her words again. Perhaps, she was right... © Stefanie Neumann - @KokopelliBFree © Stefanie Neumann - #KBFPhotography

In my opinion, the wild Dahlia was the most dainty little flower at the entire #DahliaGarden in Hamburg, this year.

Monochrome view towards a cloudy sky between treetops. To the right being a tree, a roof. On the bottom in the centre, a street lamp. A red tint with white letters spreads over the picture. To the right half under the headline, a red heart. Text: ROOFTOP NEWS I hear birds on the roof. They are tweeting, and chirping, away the haze beneath a grey sky. Below, the hustle of the day roars by on the main road like piranhas caught in a current. No mountains to climb for escape. Only walls, and roofs, to fiddle on. Spread the word. The city had its own man-made geology. Stuck to the ground like pheasants, I wonder if people even notice the lumen coming through the haze from the birds on the roofs on this grey morning. © Stefanie Neumann - @KokopelliBFree © Stefanie Neumann - #KBFPhotography
