Autumns Story

Coiling quickly the leaves roll Tumbling towards a new home Autumn's oranges,reds,and gold Splatter my view surrounding me Warmth from the sun steaming The dewy wet leaves in the morn So intricately placed in quite a pattern Delicately across my front lawn The musty smell of drying leaves Smoldering through my soul Leaving images of Soft fuzzy hats And warm wooly sweaters Driving towards the mountains The flame of topaz,amber and sienna Paint the sky with a backsplash Contrasting its deep blue hues No wonder this season thrills It's colors changing rapidly Such a short time left To witness this seasons circle of life Quickly I must catch it before its gone Leaving only small remnants of life That retires to its bed Only to sleep like a bear till spring
