Swirling Colours
With swirling colours all around, bright hues of yellow gold
A picture painted russet red, a story to be told.
Of new beginnings, tiny seeds were planted long ago
By loving hands so carefully that placed them in a row.
And so, with time their little shoots all sprung up from the ground
Survived the seasons early years, their roots are now earth bound.
Each year they’ve grown until at last, their canopy embrace
With branches strong, all reaching out, each other they do face.
Soon scattered all around are leaves of russet red and gold
As carpet beds lie on the ground their beauty to behold.
This wondrous spectrum now is seen, as Autumn’s breath is close
An artist’s brush cannot compete with nature's simple prose.
Like Autum leave these words come down and scatter on the page
But wither not, these words survive and with this poem age.
Transition time of seasons bring, this change and will not care
But Autumns beauty brings delight, no other can compare
