Autumn leaves dancing
Float softly on the quickening breeze,
Tiny ribbons of scarlet and gold
Drift slowly down..
Rustling a plaintive song of farewell.

The sighing wind
Combs its chilly fingers
Through the sleepy woods
Whispering its ancient song.

Across pale blue skies
Bleached of summers bright hue
Geese fly...loosed like arrows from a hundred quivers 

Singing their mournful tune,
As the outflung limbs of the massy trees
Reach for the last precious moments of warmth
From summers fading light..
Cool tendrils of woodsmoke and mist
Enfold the woods...
In autumns heart



Takeaways
  • I love the mournful goodbyes as geese sing their autumn song
  • You can feel the trees getting ready for their winter's rest
  • The crunch of leaves and scent of woodsmoke are autumn's gift
Did You Know?
Autumn is truly a time of rest and renewal for the earth.
