The World In Autumn

If you could see the world in Autumn
The way I did today
Your heart would skip a beat
I was only driving home
From taking everyone to school
Thinking of all I needed to do
When I got back
And there it was
Mist covered mountains
With amber, silver, crimson and forest green coming through
Not a blaze of glory
But so tastefully arrayed
You cant help but feel an ache.
And all around
Beside
Ahead
Trees so beautifully hued
Grass refreshed after summer's heat
It was like all these beautiful memories
Were imprinted on each leaf
Right there for me to see
And warm comforting aromas were there
For me to smell
And it was just a drive home
But I could hear the laughing, the crunching leaves,
a warm hand in mine,
And the world in Autumn
Made my heart skip a beat

  1. My husband and I watched a movie the other night called 'We bought a zoo'. The scenery was beautiful with images of light shining through the leaves and branches of trees and rolling hills, and it made me think of the many beautiful nature photos you capture for your blog where you are chasing the light ❤️
