Along the Path of Autumn

Along the path of autumn I can see God’s splendid beauty painted on each tree. A tiny squirrel seems to stare at me - so sweet to see; adorable is he! Along the path of autumn I can hear wind murmuring as upward I now peer. Birds twitter high above, yet seem so near. Leaves rustle magic this time of the year. Along the path of autumn, joy I feel, for nature has her loveliest appeal in this bright season. I think I shall steal wind’s zest. I fling my arms and run with zeal! Oct. 21, 2020 For Brian Strand's All Yours (Feb 7) Poetry Contest
