WHISPERS
IN AUTUMN
I turned
my head to listen to the rustling
of the leaves
Of
whispers heard in Autumn in the bustling
of the breeze
An
un-invited guest amid a forest such
as this
'Twas
likened to a concert, one of beauty....one
of bliss.
A pinecone
made it's landing with a calm yet
boastful shout
To
roll among the leaves, disturbing others
spread about
A song
of serenading, from a distance filled
the air
Teardrops
made of dew created sparkles everywhere.
Trees
of every stature wore the colors of
the Fall
The
sprinkles of a shower, sweet aromas,
smelt them all.
My
senses finely tuned, I heard the whistling
of the wind
Whispers
of an Autumn spoke that summer was
at end.
'Twas
no determined path, at every turn,
my own to seek
E're
quietly I stepped, content to let this
forest speak
My
thoughts were of the beauty that God
gave us to behold
From
trees to seas and sunsets, to their
colors bright and bold.
Amid
a showplace He created, there in peaceful
calm, I stood
Surrounded
by serenity, embrace it, yes I would
The
whispers heard in Autumn spoke of beauty
and of love
Magnificent
creations from our Father up above.
