Autumn Leaves
How a simple walk helped me reconnect with the beauty of autumn
Fall and float, spiral and spin,
Autumn leaves get under my skin.
Rake and scrap, collect and gather,
Mound and heap, before they scatter.
It’s never-ending! So much bending!
Constantly the piles need tending.
I think I’ll stop and take a break
Go for a walk around the lake.
Bright and brilliant, golden and red
Leaves carpet the trail on which I tread.
Trees splashed in color, air cool and crisp
A sigh of peace escapes my lips.
Fall and float, spiral and spin,
Autumn leaves bring joy within.
Peace,
Nature Mamaw
