Autumnal Enrapture In coat of leaves the park bench was buried as the gray squirrel scampered and scurried. With gentle sweeping of my hand oh so softly how they did land upon the dampness of earthen bed where they now rested their weary head. This was where they were intended to be covering the ground, beneath Autumn trees. I sat in amaze looking out over yon lake water lapping the beach in symphony did break as the sun shone, a brightening of all those many splendid colors held within the fall. I thought of the leaves that fell to the ground held in the beauty of their gentle surround, of how they began life of their own as nothing more than mere seed nourished by sun and life upon which they did feed. Carried and blown upon the winds of life unseen then turning into a mountain of vivid green. When the season of summer fades into gone comes the passing of cycles into the dawn. As foliage turns into pallets of tawny hue brings with it the splendor of Autumns’ view. The wind in soft moan blew through the trees whispering the tales of life’s mysteries. It told of how life’s circle is complete as each season fades into retreat. I pondered how just one simple seed could birth into leaf of tree that would fade away with the passing of time into such beauty of delightful divine. The splendor of the fall hung amidst the trees while visions of life enraptured me. the good Lord gave us mountains, so we can learn how to climb...Lonestar |

 (smiles) Oh Donna, this gentle poem is all at once kaleidoscopically spellbinding and paint a whole picture over with colors only your golden heart can produce! (kiss on cheek) Though I admit spring and summer are my favorite seasons, I still also admire autumn very much in that, as some of my favorite Native American poets often claim, completes the sacred hoop of life, and circularity is always inevitable in the finest of things! Yay, this is beautiful, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Donna, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!
