Autumn Royal

I stroll through autumn, by a pumpkin patch
While sun shines on saffron leaves like fire
I look at the amber field and thoughts hatch
The warmth of hot apple cider desire
Apple pie with cinnamon, does transpire
In my mind, when cool air touches me
As my heart leaps in joy with what I see

All shades of ginger found in leaves falling
Mixed with bright crimson, shining on the ground
I can hear the distant birds are calling
Beneath my footsteps, a light crinkling sound
I feel what I have lost, I have now found
As with the seasons, changing new allure
Snow falls upon the umber leaves, so pure

An autumn cool mixture of nostalgia and nature, Heidi. This charming poem has a tinge of romanticism in that apple cider. Good soup serving this poem is. Love and hugs.
