I snag my car keys and hit the road for a fall drive
it is a nice day for leafpeeping
windows down- the wind in my hair
down winding roads passing towns
where a garden of creeping lavender sways
and golden aspens tremble
the air holds a lovely flavour
oh, I am immersed in fall's decay
and a kaleidoscope of magic
I pass a farm with a huge field of fading sunflowers
and ancient maples with foliage red and orange guard
birds are singing a fall rhapsody song from hidden trees
and the scenery is beautiful- melancholy
wild aster, phlox and queen anne's lace
grow in ditches by the road
with a fountain like grass
as a cloud sails across the blue sky
I see a house with autumn crocus
fall dresses her trees in gold and red
and the forest is a canopy of scented hued colors
where wildflowers linger with the fallen leaves
oh, thank you God above for fall and seasonal change _
