AUTUMN WINDS

** Image ID #751661 Unavailable **

You feel it in the air
as the Autumn winds begin
to stir the leaves,
and as the first leaves
start to fall,
swirling gracefully
to the ground.

You see it in the colors
of the trees, a brilliant show
of radiant reds, golden hues,
and the blush of orange
as the wind and rain
take their toll,
leaving a delight
to the eye.

The air is crisper each day
as if to give a preview
of days to come, a sign
of a season changing gears,
Rain tries to renew
but the splendor of
summer has passed;
preparing us for
a new season.

A magical season,
a new beginning,
Welcome, Autumn -
