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.
