An Autumn Day

My racing mind of confused thoughts And things that I could not fix, Pushed me out of doors today. A little walk under bright blues skies May keep frustrated tears at bay. The wooded trail, trees arched above, The flutter of quietly falling leaves. A fiery carpet beneath my feet, the leaf-covered path winds. The rustle and crunch of leaves Drowns out the worries in my troubled mind. The chilly fall breeze, the fragrance of dying leaves, Will help to clear my head. So I walk along, kicking up the colorful patchwork And simply daydream instead. A scurry of tiny creatures sneaking beneath the leaves, A comical hopping bird searching for hidden seeds, a Flutter as the hungry bird takes wing. A low releasing sigh... Oh the wonderful calm a beautiful autumn day can bring.
