Red, Gold and Green

Red, Gold and Green I can write of Autumn with integrity, For I have lived red, gold and green long years; Bruise colored wall clouds marching Toward Summer’s last gasp, Teams of boys and pompom joys with backpacks; Bowed old heads with dread of cold bone winter. So while it is here, the air ablazing, Colors of cheer and days of beauty, I will pray for me and I will pray for you, That its timeless message shines through, As if Autumn hued blankets are cuddling you In that red, gold and green warmth, To protect you ‘til it is Spring again.

I love the colours and images of this lovely poem, Sunlite! Autumn is a beautiful time of the year, especially here in Malta where we are still enjoying very warm weather. ~ Regards // paul

I'm not a winter person either, Sunlite. A beautiful poem full of the colors of spring and fall. Just what I needed to brighten my mood:)
