Autumn Loves, Leaves
Autumn Loves, Leaves
.
Autumn leaves rain down
Slowly, steadily covering the ground
Tho’ summer’s leaves remain
In abundance on the trees.
‘twill be months before the boughs are bare
But for now the beauty of diverse hues
Reflect, both above and below, bedecked
In summer and autumn’s greens and golds.
The most beautiful of all seasons,
Autumn bridges the times of plenty
With the times of hardship; one foot
On the earth, the other in the grave;
’tis the season I most love.

Lovely. As you may recall, it doesn’t happen much on the coast here.

I think that’s why I appreciate it so much now, living inland. Thank you, Col.

Taken looking out of my front door of my home in Johannesburg. You can see why and how much I love trees!

Me too, although I love them all really, and at the moment I am enjoying longer days of light, new flowers, and of course the sounds of birdsong everywhere I go. Your paean of praise is well wrought.
