Autumn Leaves

Summer falls into Autumn's falling leaves, a color contrast of reds, yellows, browns, oranges, and purples in the breeze All falling floating down from the trees to replenish the earths soil in a landmark of beauty, in a peaceful dream Mother Earth covered in bright patches colorfully, so colorful in fact that it can be seen from outer space... Amazing Paintings from around the world are created to replicate the natural beauty from these fallen leaves, no longer green For when summer comes to an end and the sunlight diminishes the leaves are unable to produce anymore chlorophyll So they change, and then fly free, swirling around you, me, and everything then come together to create that perfect painting Life in all of its splendor is so simple and beautiful, this is what Autumn leaves bring to me...Clarity An overwhelming emotion of what it is to be free, a once a year spiritual awakening these fallen leaves gift to me Even as I write I am staring out my window to the meadow of trees, in awe and in wonder of the beauty in life I think I'm going to put the pen down now and go for a walk, and as I am stepping out the door wide smiling Smiling because the breeze whirled around me and created a little tornado of leaves surrounding me artfully And as the gust died the beauty settled all around me down by my feet and one red and one yellow leaf found me One each landing perfectly upon my shoulders...
