Autumn Affection
Dawn's diamond dew drops delight
As cooler autumn air descends
Upon the tropical trees in dappled sun
Where wild piglets run, free to forage
Down below the snows of Mauna Kea
Where the rain forests reign supreme,
Where bird songs echo during daylight
And crickets and coqui frogs chirp in eve's
Moonlight as nature's lullabies linger long.
Cooler temperatures prevail presenting
October skies, a welcome relief from the
Summer's humid heat that slows the feet.
Autumn serenely shares her halcyon hues
In lilting leaves that dance when leaving trees
To grace the grounds in a mélange of mounds
As her frosty breath awakens soulful zest.
