AUTUMN

Memories of Autumn and what it brings to each of us.

AUTUMN

Leaves turn to magnificent colors
wind shifts by them
bring them down gently
gently to the earth...

Squirrels begin their yearly gathering
prepare for the wintry weather
make sure their young will be snug
safe from the coldest of cold...

Pumpkin patches gleam with invitations
for young and old
harvesting to their liking and bringing
home bountiful pleasures...

Walking down a tree lined road
in the quiet of the morning
taking in all the splendor
given by the changing of seasons...

Varied colors blend to make Autumn
a gathering season for all
mankind
to go back to carefree times, past...

With Autumn brings the essence
of an era gone by
giving us the reminder
to slow down yet once again.
