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

Colors of a Season

this autumn has filled it's days

with a brilliant show of colors

light and shadow dance

a delight for our eyes

gals getting their gobble on:

Tamaracks don their golds

ankles of trees

cloaked in leaves

the storm could not veil all the sun's light

forest walks delight

wee fungi kin

but today

is another facet of autumn:

Colors Abound

colors abound

autumn is all around

light seems so pure

color that makes one purrrrrr

the flight of seeds

a carnival of movement

promises of life to come

autumn

a season of exquisite light

texture

colors

gone to seed

romance of future life

Life as a Lucky Charm

talismans of a day

overflowing with lucky charms
