The Blanket

A light blanket of clouds covers
the sun, and fog drapes the trees
Crispness fills the still September air
rendering a sense of ease

An illuminating sun peeks through
Sleepy eyes lift the blanket
Autumn's touch is welcome here
Ripe pears nature's banquet

Autumn does deliver a sense of comfort, its like the final accomishment of summer. And hearts do seem ripened by apparent effortless movement of summer to autumn, one last performance of nature's fertility. I enjoyed this poem very much Sara, where I live Autumn is moving in the sir. J.A.B.
