Autumn's Breath

Dry leaves rustle with each step Noisy autumn here beneath my feet My golden wood a wondrous place Woodpecker's song repeat, repeat... The stag his antlered crown parades While gleaning in the harvest fields The pheasant cock calls his mate Such small wonders this autumn yields... The fire draws me to sit awhile And ponder the passing of the year How quickly it is autumn's time again Time to remember and hold it dear
