The Winter Road

Our country road looks lonlier
When leaves begin to fall
And from the sky I often hear
A southbound gander's call.
A golden shower drifts below,
Borne by an impish breeze,
That's busy stripping finery
From over-hanging trees.
The colors flame against a sky
Of pure, pellucid blue.
The bracken, now a burnished bronze,
Wears drops of crystal dew
And over all there is a sense
The land prepares to sleep.
Now very soon, the snow will throw
A blanket, cold and deep
Across the countryside I know.
Not many come here then,
But I see tracks are left behind,
By animals and men
And so the winter road reveals
A history every day,
Of everyone who left their print,
When passing by this way.

You really know how to write beautiful poetry, I think this ranks right up there with Robert Frost, one of my favorite poets.
