Autumn

A time when leaves are falling. Ever falling.

Most only see the coming of winter but to me, it’s the time of year when the trees are changing their evening dresses from emerald green satin to sunshine gold, amber and scarlet velvet.

On the road as I pass by, the leaves are stirred in a whirlwind of color as if the great force of nature had formed a tornado of fire.

It’s so peaceful. I wish it would last forever.

As I take a walk down an abandoned old dirt road, I breathe in the crisp air which smells of a sweetness that seems oddly familiar though it’s a brand new season.

It’s as if all year long I’ve been waiting for this one day to come.

The first day in the year when the scorching sun starts to be altered and I can reflect on the summer past and the good times I had with my friends and family.

But there are even more good times ahead because it’s Autumn.

A special time in space where no one can disturb my wandering thoughts.

Now it will not be so hot and I can go for walks with my friends or just go by myself to better appreciate and marvel at the beauty of nature; contemplate and wander what spirit conceived the wonderful idea of this fantastic season that means so much to me.

The splendor of it all makes my heart skip a beat and entices me to dance for joy.

There’s only one season that can make me feel so lighthearted and carefree;

Autumn
