Autumn`s Journey--By Yvonne Sparkes--England

Autumn`s Journey

Hints of gold and glints of fire,
Super moons with hearts desire,
Shadows clinging, misty clouds,
Wet long grass with soggy shrouds.

Leaves that dangle from the trees,
Bright filled mornings, autumn breeze,
Birds that chatter, fill their beaks,
"Winter`s coming in some weeks".

Nature`s finished all she`s planned,
To her story, vision grand.
In green she`s born, in gold she`ll die,
When Geese shall fly across her sky.

Her fire emits her light within,
The knowledge she`ll again begin,
But first to sleep, so she must rest,
To give her new born seeds the best.
