AMONGST THE AUTUMN TREES



 Into the shadows, underneath the shaded trees,


 Footsteps on a carpet of leaves falling like rain.


 Glance do I at what's above, flashes of sunlight,


 Gleaming through living statues of brilliant color.


 A gentle breeze whispers past through the branches,


 Ornaments let go of the arms that hold them floating


 quietly and gently to the ground.


 Further into the Autumn day I venture,


 All is calm with nature as it invites me to 
 Share the day.

 Amongst the Autumn trees lies much more than one 
 Dares to dream,

 A never ending cycle of life that can't always be seen.
