“Autumn Tangle” (1920) by William Henry Holmes
Woodland Magic
by Gay Williford
A blurry yellow-orange
woodland scene stages
a mystical fantasy where
a wreath-shaped structure
composed of twigs and branches
invites me to step in.
Autumnal shades frame
its opening beckoning me
into the space beyond
where fall beauty is a constant
in this glistening sunlit backdrop–
and where I do believe
all wishes must surely come true!
