Autumn

AUTUMN Dusk of the year Blowing so cool I welcome you You bring fresh Skin tingling breezes That caress me And whisper of the wonders to come I always longingly expect you Waiting anxiously Hoping you will be Laden with bounty You are a time to gather A time to recollect A time to get ready for the Winter's night Your soothing wind Is gladly welcomed After the summer’s heat Autumn how I have missed you so Sweet logs crackling on a warm fire Make me content Experiencing you I feel blessed by you Harvest time summons when you appear Nature’s abundance seems to overflow I marvel at the wonders you always bring Time of gathering Time of coming rest I thank you most sincerely For I have worked hard and need the rest May the pleasant glow of the sun And nights so cool Be prolonged Oh AUTUMN I wish you welcome For I have so missed you so
