Autumn Splendor

The airy chill, the somber still that autumn brings; That musty smell from raking leaves As you scratch your nose and loudly sneeze; The scent of burnt wood lingers with the breeze, You pause to remember past dreams. Feelings reminisce with a sigh or as gentle as a tear That flows when you cry, the faces of friends Huddled around a campfire’s light Of laughter so near to quench the fear of night. Jonathan M. Bellmann Autumn Splendor
