“Autumn leaves don't fall, they fly. They take their time and wander on this their only chance to soar.”

Quote By: Delia Owens, Where the Crawdads Sing


Crisp swift wind whistle clear, autumn leaves fly
Good-bye, how they are heard with a faint smile.
Fiery pinwheels spinning and scatter high,
Crisp swift wind whistle clear, autumn leaves fly.
Place for the Mockingbird's nest, for a while,
Their song so wistful they take to the sky.
Good-bye, how they are heard with a faint smile
Crisp swift wind whistle clear, autumn leaves fly.
