Autumn Copyright 1989 by: Mark V Sheldon Autumn is a time That brings to mind Feelings from the past... A cool wind blows For these two daring souls Finding pictures that they know will last... And there's a feeling in the air -- A sense of adventure -- A distinct zephyr of chimney pine... With their scarves around their throats And their hands inside their coats, The night's age but a quarter to nine. And their Topsiders crack the golden leaves below As the pines Sway in time To the autumn wind's flow There's a halo 'round the moon shining overhead As the clouds Cast their shrouds Upon Heaven's starbed. Autumn is a time That brings to mind Moments of days gone by... The sun's golden rays In the pre-twilight phase Of a day moving closer to night... And the color of the leaves That have fallen from the trees To run freely along the path, Like the gold in her hair Draping her back so bare, Or the tan of her skin from the bath. An ensemble of toads at the Reservoir Serenades The escapades Of the two, from afar With the rumble of the ocean, faintly heard to the West As the two Picture who It was that made autumn best...

Tis a lovely season. Apple cider, fresh doughnuts, the aroma of cinnamon and burning leaves maybe with a little of pine. Love the poem. Bon-Bon |

(smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, I couldn't agree with you more, as I believe the autumn, despite its chill and the flowers withering and the geese going south, is a time of knowing that memories and love are with us and help warm our hearts as it gets colder and the colors remind us how scintillating the world is! (big hugggssssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Mark, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

Thank you, Q... Ron, all I know is how little I know... but I FEEL empathy to your allusion, for some knowledge never leaves us... Nancy, it's the best season, period. Despite all the memories the winds stir up... Bon-Bon, now my senses are all happy! Yes, Noah -- it's a hedonistic time, in its own (w)rite... -MVS You CAN make a difference: |

ohhhh, this was awesome And there's a feeling in the air -- A sense of adventure -- A distinct zephyr of chimney pine... With their scarves around their throats And their hands inside their coats, The night's age but a quarter to nine. Looks like we're thinking along the same sites again....???? Well, sir, Good good morning to ya, and thank you for a most beautiful and spectacular read! |
