Autumn

When I was but a youngster
Autumn meant one thing
That Halloween meant fun
In spooky ways

Today I'm none the wiser
But older more than some
And all my Autumn days
Are holidays

Oh how I love the feeling
The coolness of the day
The leaves that fall in hues
Of gold and red

The winds that blow to greet me
The way they catch the leaves
And even blow the cobwebs 
From my head

But most of all so dearly
I love the Autumn rains
The way they bring such peace
To calm my soul

The thunder and the lightning
Are never really frightening
When mother nature’s hand
Is in control

And when the storm is finished
And worms come out to play
The world is like a wonderland
Of fun

Oh how I love the Autumn
The colors of the day
And how I seem to love
Just everyone.

Thank you, Andrea. But tell me: Who captures the stars, and dips them in a rose-water sea, one by one, where silky starfish kisses gently caress the cheeks of beautiful mermaid maidens with perfect pearl skin and red hair like fuchsia blossoms, glistening like dragon-fire coral in the mid-day sun, where translucent baby seahorses swim in secret grottos of golden dreams and misty moonlight beams. Yea, it's you!
