Autumn Beauty
By: Jennifer Buzby and Noah Eaton
10/11/01

What a grand and glorious
Sight to ever behold to nature!
You look into a valley
And see a blanket of a red,
Gold and Brown sea of leaves.
The scent of the air is of Ceder,
Of Cottonwood and of Aspen.
Its like you've crossed over
Into another time, another place...
Untouched by man. The sun rises
Gently to kiss the day.
Making the valley wrought with
Magnificent beauty.

Together we’ll jump into these leaves
Scatter them about like gypsy flies
Filling the wind with scarlet smiles
Aflame in oak and mahagony glaze
Dancing like swain gazelles on clouds
Prancing in the frost in clarinet flurries
Jestering the spirit of friendship
In the space between your heart and mine
Rekindling tidings of mirth
And to breath that crisp cedar air
To render wings in these fields of gold
Laughing and frolicking like the seventh butterfly
Is the most harmonic feeling of all

A blue bird flies in amongst the trees
And sings his last beautiful, happy tune.
Farmers are harvesting their crops.
Squirrels scamper about collecting nuts
For the harsh winter ahead.
Night has set in and crickets make their music.

Tittering hymns to the wind flute
The fox and the hare jump among the cloverleafs
Sweet laughter lighting against thunder’s tirade
Rainbows leaping about where we sit
On the soft green grass
Sharing Autumn’s Beauty that sings for us.

Without the experiance of love where would we be? We would have no memories to cherish.
With love it brings hurt with hurt bittersweet memories.
