Autumn Captured

Sitting downstream in this delightful setting When you close your eyes there is just no forgetting I can still see the scene that my mind has captured The most glorious of colours leaves me in rapture The bluest of sky seeps through a canopy I behold Mirrored on the stream it's dreamy blues unfold Ancient stones sit like islands in the sun Creating ripples of motion in downstream run But it's the avenue of colours that delights my eyes Season after season she always leaves her surprise Greens mix with golds, ochres yellows, reds and browns A spectacular collage paints this bright Autumn gown Within weeks to a month until the last leaf falls Then her seasons move on as Winters installed
