- Autumn Is Near -

  When the sublime symphony of summer
  is about to enter its last movement
  The mysterious curtain of magic
  Nature transform into golden colors
  yellow, orange, red and even purple
  Eye-catching spectacular color shades

  Walk in the quiet respite of autumn
  while breathing in the lovely fresh crisp air
  The season's most beautiful adventure
  With autumn, the weather changes quickly
  The wind takes hold and throws me off balance
  Ripe apples, pears and plums fall to the ground
