A TIME FOR FALLING LEAVES
FALL, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL TIME OF THE YEAR. WHEN A BLUSHING
AUTUMN COMES TO PROVIDE US WITH APPLES HANGING OFF FLOURISHING TREES, IT IS TIME TO TAKE IN THEIR RUBIOUS COLORS. AS THEY HANG
FROM THEIR STURDY STEMS WE ADMIRE THEIR MULT-COLORED SHADES OF SUNBURNT YELLOW, GOLD AND BROWN.
INSIDE THE ORCHARD WE SOMETIMES FIND LADDERS, GREAT BIG BUSHELS,
STRAW AND LINEN HATS WORN ASKEW, AND SOMETIMES BIG GOLDEN SMILES THAT SAY, " I'M LIVING IT UP! "
WHAT BETTER PLACE TO BE THEN UNDERNEATH AN AUTUMN TREE, WHERE
EVERYTHING SHIMMERS WITH NATURAL LIGHT.
LEAVES DANCE AND SWIVEL BEFORE YOUR EYES, THEN SLOWLY LAND IN THE PALM OF YOUR OPEN HAND.
THE SUN GOES DOWN AND IT IS TIME TO KEEP SILENCE WITH THE BASKET
MOON AND THE CELESTIAL EVENING STARS.
SO GO AHEAD AND EASE INTO THIS SEASON WITH A QUIET SOUL.
HELP THE APPLES SAY GOODBYE TO SUMMER. AFTER ALL IT IS AUTUMN,
A TIME FOR FALLING LEAVES THAT SIGH.
