The Clean Air of Autumn

A crisp morning, I wake fully revived
Summer is gone as I look out the door
Leaves begin to fall, it’s finally arrived
Now we can open the windows once more.

Pansies are planted, their faces upturned
Squirrels gather nuts for the winter to come
Enjoying the patio has now returned
Sitting outside with a hot buttered rum.

Decorating with pumpkins ‘round the yard
With fall colored mums arranged in a vase
To find beauty in autumn, its’ not hard
For Her magic touch is found everyplace.

A breathe of fresh air to end summer’s heat
The clean air of autumn cannot be beat.
