Nature's Tonic

The breeze, dank with autumnal chill
Sighs through the lonesome woodland trail
Yet whispers of sweet promise 
Waft gently through the bracing air

Those whispers of sweet promise can indeed take the edge off of an autumn chill. I imagine the sound of a brook or the chattering of birds. Love this poetic snapshot of a hike in the woods, Wendy, and the title was perfect.
