A poem to welcome Autumn.
A morning sky tinged with blue black clouds and a promise of rain
My footsteps quicken as I reach the park and there you were
Like burnished copper on a carpet of green, you cover the ground
Waiting patiently to be lifted and swirled
As the naked branches of your trees reach out to keep their falling leaves
Bright golden drifts invite me to play
And as I scatter you afar, you rustle, creating your own music
Swirls of colour kissing droplets of rain
A gentle breeze softly carries you in natures dance
And all my cares fade away like Autumn leaves
