Autumn Bordering Winter

 






Autumn Bordering Winter

Oh let them fall
All the leaves all
Falling, papery thin
Hues of myriad I saw
Whilst in a state of awe
I watch them fall
With a half-floating tilt
They tip their tiny hats
As they gracefully glide
For a wistful moment, slide,
Slice, and saw, through air.
A nature show for all
That display of beauty in colour
Short-lived and transient
Soothing a salty temperament
As reminders of a seasonal glow
Worth lingering moments to know
Such secrets of nature, a clear call
To gather every one and all
To a conference of the leaves
Before bordering winter as it may please
Comes swiftly like a wind
Can we see it all again? 
Once the dancing leaves fall
They do not look back at all.

Special thanks to the leaves of Savannah, Georgia this last week for their display of beauty and colour. To allow my feet to shuffle amidst them and see their late season glory. It was a gift to my Autumn loving, chilly weather needing soul.
