Maple leaves charm forest floor.
Imagine there’s an open door
That keeps one satisfied - no more.
Walk along the way.
Simplicity, that raging fire,
Lets dreams go deep to then rise higher.
With worries done all doubts retire
To reach the end of day.
Linked to dVerse Quadrille. Kim from Writing in North Norfolk hosts with the theme word “keep”.

The image of the maple leaves charming the forest floor is such a clear one, magical, Frank. I like the final lines, too, very hopeful.

I really liked the feel of this, so autumnal, but I got lost a bit with the once open door that now denies access or egress.
