Autumn Wedding
A tiny group meets in the clearing of
an umber wooded area to see
the celebration of their dear friends’ love.
The bride has chosen nature’s scenery
for wedding colors! Near a crimson tree
the groom stands waiting with a pumpkin smile
which seems fixed on his face for this short while!
Cinnamon is the grin of his sweet bride
who wears an amber gown this sun-lit day.
Slowly she approaches to stand beside
her groom as saffron leaves begin to play
in fall’s light breeze along her bright pathway.
It’s the autumn of their lives! Ginger strands
lend fire to her grey hair as they hold hands.
