A Pause For Nature

Sour orange and Cherry red
Golden hue under a bed

Of garden pink and passionate skies
Where they’ll meet their timely demise

Ushering in a snappy breeze
For twilight time is smooth with ease

The sun has drawn to close its eyes 
The warmth that now crawled from its apprise

And now shadowing into the night
We are guided by a different light

Fall has issued where it was a broiled
Dancing there on the green mossy soil

Pairing rights and colored plumes
Preparing for the springtime bloom

Pick the seeds from what look like weeds
Collecting and canning them as beads 

The briny vines with fruitless wonder
Winter shall embrace them under.

The rhyming couplets in this poem give the piece a special spark. The flow of the lines really touches on nature itself and the beauty of such natural occurrence in life. The colors are very inspirational to the eye sight and have a sparkle of brilliance. Great job! ~Joseph

We need to take the time to smell the roses. There is such beauty in all of nature. We get caught up sometimes and miss the important stuff. God Bless. Vince
