Leaves of crimson, orange and gold
Gently falling to the earth
As the wind slowly carries them
The fall before winter's cold.
Each color so vividly displayed
Bright and kissed by the sun
The mountainous land and the valleys
By His hand so perfectly made.
Crisp, chilled wind that plays
Upon our faces and hands
Whistling as it passes by
Adding a briskness to the days.
Autumn's subtle, rustic hue
Gives such warmth to the land
Wrapping a blanket around
That seems so majestic too.
This season is lovely to behold
With colors that dance all around
Bright and bold..
The fall before winter's cold.
