September's Winding Road

There is on a green hill, a winding road, Where September golden rods are blooming, Even the sandy path bears reflections A line of fence posts, lavender shadows Twining purple morning glory faces Reaching, desiring the cool autumn sun, Footprints follow, one little pair, no two Questions of wonder suspending in air. Gazing up that lovely road of new fall, One's eyes strain to peer beyond the path's rise, Where blue and gold mists meet the autumn sky, With a new generation, a new school. And an unremembered Meadow of Dreams Illumines hidden caverns of the mind.

I can really see "to peer beyond the path's rise Where blue and gold mists meet the autumn sky,". Nicely penned.
