2nd Place

====================================

Did you notice the first fall breeze? Cool and crisp it feathers your face A premonition of winter’s freeze But gentle like a silken lace The leaves dropping as the colors change And earth begins it’s dormant nap The autumn breeze so lovely and strange Points out the path on winter’s map The first fall breeze gently reminds me Of the long gone days of my youth Refreshing as I searched for the key I hoped would bring wisdom and truth Refreshing as it was but knowing The first fall breeze had made it clear Mother Earth with splendor showing The pure white winter drawing near

Wow! Congrats! Thanks for sharing this... making me vicariously experience Fall splendor since my country is devoid of Fall. God bless you.
