"There is something so special in the early leaves drifting from the trees–as if we are all to be allowed a chance to peel, to refresh, to start again."
– Ruth Ahmed
Autumn brings the winds of distant lands, along with the fallen leaves that bring another spring of colours. The warm breeze comforts and soothes us bringing back beautiful memories of many autumns gone by. The most beautiful season on earth, it has a sudden charm that entices the eyes, and makes way for creating those unheard stories, poems, and prose pieces resting inside our souls. Let’s weave those tales and verses and bring them out of our autumn trees and before they fall down upon earth, send them to us and we will embellish them into our Autumn/ Fall Issue, which will be our third in line and the last one for this year.
