On Little Tiptoe Feet Autumn comes around the bend on little tiptoe feet It treads upon the summer grasses, silent and discreet Touching every rustling leaf of green with gentle brush Gathering the flying wings of geese and singing thrush Orange, yellow, amber grains abundant in the field Compete with crimson, gold and bronze that oak and maple yield Silent changes, bursts of color, all to please the eye And touch the soul with joyfulness before the colors die Autumn’s brilliance lingers there, within the eye still etched Then suddenly erases all the beauty it had sketched It steps aside, allowing bitter winter winds to fly And leaves the landscape barren without even a goodbye God’s given us a glorious gift , to buffer winter’s blast Ending summer gently, as the seasons of the past Autumn teases us with splendor, then without remorse or doubt It slyly turns its back and then discreetly tiptoes out Elizabeth Santos |

 She tiptoed in and out of the forest last night as I walked upon the remains of her mischief this morning. Oh, I loved this uplifting, wonderful poem today, thank you for this! ~Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self~ Cyril Connolly |

A wonderful thought, Liz! I suppose Spring and Fall are gentle buffers between Summer and Winter so that they may ease in and out...I like it!  |
