As summer slowly recesses
Autumn dances its way in
The colorful Painting of leaves
Waltz as a mild wind blows
Pirouette slowly downward
Natures mosaic quilt
Covering the ground.

We Marvel at the mystery
That unfolds in front of our eyes
The dazzling abstract beauty  
Artistry no man can create
Like a magician waving his wand
Behold the wonders like magic
Imagery so exquisite


Captured by the transformation
In fascination we look
Traveling near and far
Gapping with wide eye amazement
Enjoying the vision before us
They have a name for us
We are the “Leaf Peeper People”.


--------------
You got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
and show the world all the love in your heart
Then people are gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes you will
That your beautiful as you feel.~~~ Carol King

WOW....I never knew I had a proper title...you have just made my day.  I love the autumn and I think most people do and you have rendered a most beautiful portrait to share with us.  Superbly done my friend.

Thank you for sharing.
