The Rainbows of Autumn

Autumn leaves cling high in the tree tops As acorns drop to the bottom. Summer’s hot days have long since gone Replaced by the coolness of Autumn. The roses and mums are still in bloom For the nights are brisk without frost. Halloween is just around the corner With the brilliance of Autumn soon lost. Dead leaves create the rainbows of Autumn Red, yellow, orange, purple and brown. Soon winter shall blanket nature in white As the seeds of summer lie dormant in the ground. Wild geese call as they fly in formation Across the star filled skies of night. The moon seems larger and has more color Reflecting with wonder its light. Autumn for most, is their favorite time of year Till winter passes and it’s spring once more. A time of harvest and transformation As the light of day is shorter than before. How many Autumns have come and gone Only God could tell the story. How many Autumns have we left to enjoy With their fulfillment, radiance and glory.
