Autumn whispers

You can hear Autumn’s whispers
In the cool air, yet warm
Colors blaze on the treetops
Like a silent before the storm
Leaves descend on breezes
You see them dance in a fight
And in their crisp embrace
We can find a gentle light

See the trees slipping into dreams
Worn by time's hand
Their branches bow in the wind
They bow low like an honored band
The golden echoes rustle
Fallen in the fading of the day
It’s nature's beautiful lullaby
In a bright colorful array

The cold moist ground
Receives their memories of stories
Timeless stories old and wise
A palette of memories floating
Neath the dark en blue skies
Every decision and each step we take
On this timeless autumn floor
Is a wonderful journey
Through the seasons once more

Smell the various autumn scent
Of twilight a sweet decay
As the length of the shadows perish
In a soft dance of nature's ballet
You can harvest the peace’s
In each lost and fallen leaf
You find a gentle reminder
Of this life’s brief belief

You can see life’s mirrors
In the frost-kissed dew
They give reflecting colors
Of a colorful life anew
And in the whispering of the dance
Of the wandering falling leaves
You can hear the secrets
That the forest weaves
You can hear the secrets
That the forest weaves

Oh the wind carries whispers unseen
Can you hear the murmurs in the air
From the heart of the forest serene
Silent songs of the earth laid bare
Leaves with tales of yesterday's scenes
To places unknown where new life convenes
