"To be in nature remote, alone is to enter a portal into another realm unknown." Quote - by Constance slowly, slowly, slowly nature fades to decay yet, still there is a beauty unfolding and hidden birds sing so gay soon, in my hands stained leaves I am holding as from trees they wither and fall and still the forest has a beauty to enthrall oh, smell the gentle showers caressing the trees that stand like towers but, the air now holds a chill and it will not be long until snowy draped branches of forest trees sway ________________________ August 28, 2022 Poetry/Rhyme/nature's decay Copyright Protected, ID 08-1484-010-28 All Rights Reserved, 2022, Constance La France Written for the Premiere contest, A Brian Strand Premiere Choice sponsor, Brian Strand, Judged 09/01/2022 Seventh Place

The "stained leaves" is something I had forgotten until this second "still the forest has a beauty to enthrall" - true! Congratulations on a lovely poem, and a natural win.
