First Snow

such a lovely surprise to wake

to 

the first snow

to slip on boots

and 

head out to be part of the snow clad morning

it is all melted now

but

I am left with a reminder to get autumn chores completed

before winter arrives

Autumn Forest

autumn colors beckon

wander and see

though the edges are divine

they call:

step into me

step over logs and bush

duck under arms of trees

breathe 

the cool crisp refined air

eventually returning

to the edges

it has been a gorgeous autumn

the colors

the mix of weather

the big fat moon in a starry sky

colors are changing fast

some beyond their height of bright color

leaves dance through the air

blanketing the earth 

floating on water

a time that inspires ones senses to come to life

lovely days and nights to you
