The Bridge To October

I walk upon the bridge to October,
were trees are draped with autumnal hues,
an abundance of reds, oranges and yellows,
glistening from the sun-kissed morning dew,
leaves gently fall from mother trees freeing
each other for what is to come to another 
season of monochromatic wonder which
covers the transitional glory with a snowflake
white blanket creating a hush within the air,
if only the bridge to October would provide
a perpetual season where the colors beauteous 
to our eyes appear all-year-round.
