Autumn Afternoon

Bright blue sky, fluffy clouds;
People in the park.
Warming sun, gentle breeze;
Hours ‘til it’s dark.

Craft fair on the avenue;
Pumpkin ice cream cone.
Everybody seems content,
Including those alone.

Orange leaves peeping through;
Folks and canines pass.
Families with strollers stroll
Or picnic on the grass.

Places where the climate
Stays the same are not for me.
Autumn in New York, I think’s
The perfect place to be.

Acceptance of ones place on earth is truly a rich blessing. But for the ones who understand, the others all are guessing. :)
