Autumns Thanksgiving Dance

As you dance among the leaves absorbing Autumns chilly breeze 
   Evocative colors brain ingests assist minds eye a peaceful rest.
It may bring you to your knees, this painted landscape of the trees
   Every eye, instantly pleased, boredom authentically appeased 
Upon thoughts of raking leaves, deceased. 
   Inhaled moments to be seized as, canvas doesn't capture rapture
Sound amplifies escorting passing hisses
   Painting simply is remiss as each leaf blows its own individual bliss
Sensations semi~ breathless, Whirlwind whips to face doth kiss
  Spicy cider, crisp cool air, Enticing smells are everywhere
Ion forces that charge hair, Senses transformed to keenly aware
   Like cleansing rain comes to care, Autumn has a harvest to share
Pumpkin tastes digested and relished,  Gardens abundance is embellished
   Palate welcomes earths new harvest,
Soups asparagus and leek guides taste buds to seek 
   Cinnamon nutmeg sprinkle invites tongue top to twinkle
Hints of future bursting creeks, all signs of how nature speaks
   Swelling beauty gently peaks,
Swirling twirling everywhere, dance in Autumns love affair
  Let it call you to your knees as you pray within the trees
Spying worker honey bees readying for winters freeze
   Brisk intoxicating air expanding lung, Supports the life you are among
Dance as Autumns song is sung, Tantalizing color ubiquitously hung
        ~The Joyful Season of Thanksgiving has finally begun~
