The Whispers of Autumn

In the silence of an autumn day The slight crunch of leaves are heard Whispering things that I cannot say Colorful statements in every word A soft breeze touches the changing trees As the leaves float slowly to the ground Where I lean down on weary knees Seeking dreams of color to be found The air is crisp as apples to pick Refreshing to smell or to taste Autumn floats with memories to stick In my mind where no time is to waste Whispers of autumn will comfort me Through days ahead to eternity Heidi Sands 8/31/24 (C)opyright

How beautiful, Heidi! This wonderful sonnet operates on so many levels of metaphor and striking images. It is truly a song-poem from a heart of faith celebrating creation! Best wishes for the contest. Continued prayers. Blessings whispered to your heart. Love NE in the fall!
