Autumn In Our Hearts

~ Sun filled skies ignite the trees in colorful array of pastel leaves and scented pine, October on display The beauty that does meet our eyes so comforts all we view, a Sunday drive, uncharted roads, together me and you A softer breeze we shall not feel, the wind about our hair, on journeys off to anywhere the two of us shall share This scenery of heaven sent frames every street we drive, your hand in mine, a favorite song, so glad we are alive Majestic oaks, their leaves of gold, maples traced in red, soon to fall the chilly earth, a soft enchanted bed Chrysanthemums and dahlias, the magic that we find, pumpkin patches line the country lanes down which we wind Fun is our companion, constant, everywhere we go, precious is the feeling as we take in nature’s show On this fall adventure leaving summer in the past, enjoying every moment, hoping for our time to last A lazy day, the sun is bright and you are here with me, nothing ‘cross this valley shows more beauty than I see When I look into your eyes reflecting skies above and feel the joy within they bring by showing me your love We were meant to be right here, wherever this may be, hand in hand in nature’s home, a feeling oh so free Or anywhere that we may roam, this wondrous season starts, for happiness is you and me with autumn in our hearts 9/12/19 Written for the: Fall into Fall Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Chantelle Anne Cooke
