Autumn's Child

Autumn Child

She'd rather when the season changes
from humidity to serendipity
to make discoveries at a turn
when the autumn leaves fall to the ground
creating a tapestry of colors
in an unbroken sequence
A chorus of red, green and browns
blending together in natures song
as in a round to greet the new weathers chill
She is galvanized by the change
of gaiety and glee
but it's not just for her it's also for me.
