The Magic of Autumn

 

The Magic of Autumn

The pause between Summer and Winter
Harvest time, pumpkins, apple pies and corn
Enchanting scenes of stained glass foliage


Magnificent fiery colors of soft yellow, orange and red
Autumn is like a melancholy song
Gusty winds and golden leaves flying
Inspirational is the beautiful decay everywhere
Chilly nights, cozy sweaters, long country drives

Orange blanket stretching in all directions
Falling leaves dance, spin and twirl

Apple cider after a long walk
Unpredictable rain
The season of a long goodbye
Until the snow paints nature white 
Maple trees red against the sky take my breath away
Nuts for the scampering squirrels-  make me laugh
