October Sun

Serene majestic silence reigned Much like in a grandiose cathedral Trees rose tall their autumn leaves Fluttering colors to the breeze Eyes closed soaking in warm rays Face blissfully offered to the sun In one breath the world stood perfect How I wished to capture the moment Enshrine and treasure it forever One sigh and it would be gone One cloud and the illusion shattered AP: 3rd place 2020 Submitted on March 31, 2020 for contest STRAND CHOICE W sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 2ND Originally posted on October 24, 2019

Line, your poem is really lovely. Canada has the most beautiful Autumn scenery but does not last very long .. one day you look outside and the trees are bare and snow is falling !

Great scene painted here. I know that wonderful feeling of being captivated by ones surroundings in a moment of heightened awareness and longing to find words etc to describe it. You've captured and expressed this scene and that feeling very nicely.
