Autumn's leaves
are stripped
And day's length
short

But relish still
the evening sun

Hoard the gold
Of summer
Relish the warm days
Before we shiver
In the cold

sunlight through the trees
makes shadows dance in the breeze
falling leaves flutter to the ground
gently falling, making not a sound

hours spent in contemplation
filled with wonder and elation
finding nature's hidden treasures
enjoying simple life pleasures

When you see
at your very side
a fairy pathway
do you stride

Along its way
as chance
has led

Or do you
tarry, wary
of where
that path may lead

Tiptoe as you pass;
Last night fairies frolicked there,
And they're sleeping somewhere near.

Crowns of branches are brushed with tinges of gold
Breezes intensify as leaves cascade to the ground
Dark rain clouds invade, erasing summer fantasies
Cooling joyful summer dreams as the rain pounds
