Autumn's Breath

Breathing in autumns air is refreshing to my soul I'm in awe of beauty surrounding me, as I leisurely stroll Colourful leaves dancing, doing their best to cajole Throwing caution to the wind, down the hill I roll Now leaves are sticking to my clothes and in my hair Actions of a child, but priceless is the smile I now wear Foliage of orange, red, yellow, green and brown everywhere Trees rustling their pleasure, joyfully rejoicing at my flair The wind picks up, whistling natures sweet tune A slight chill is in the air for it's now late afternoon The sun strives to shine brightly, glistening off the lagoon Days are getting shorter and earlier rises the moon An exquisite valley beckons, an enclosed paradise retreat Sitting against an ancient oak, resting my weary feet A beautiful sight to behold, not an inch marred by concrete Now special place to come, when one wants to feel complete.
