Around me the leaves fall in showers of gold and russet hues. I turn my face skyward and feel the gentle whispers as they rustle over my cheeks. My eyes blinded by the sun shining down through the bright yellow maple leaves, as it highlights my hair and my eyes. Until I am fall-colored and autumn tinged, in an amber like dream of soft hues. Spreading my arms to the heaven; I turn, around and around and around. Dancing a farewell step to a beautiful Indian Summer.

I swirl faster and faster, stirring the leaves into a frenzy ‘neath my feet. My laugh rings out , true and strong. As my hair lifts with the force of my dance, and my eyes sting from the leaf dust. Soon my steps dizzy and I stagger a bit, and I fall *plop* deep into a nest of cushioning leaves. Where I soon close my eyes and daydream away a peaceful afternoon. Forgetting for a moment that winter is gathering her forces to steal away my precious fall memories and replace them with a dark rainy gloom.

The end of Autumn is my favorite time of year. Succinctly written this is.

Wow, Angel, this is golden. I could feel myself falling into the leaves reading this. You are a natural for me thinks.
