Autumn Air...

The sights and smells of Autumn
as sunlight lights up the colors
of the leaves as they follow each other
in a spiralling dance down to the Earth
In the sheer mirth of the squirrels,
with the quick flicker of tails,
as they chase each other
in a merry go round game up the trees
as the breeze wafts by
with the scent of cinnamon
and apple pie
and the tint to the sky
tells you somehow the air is crisp
in this and in the smell of decay
as leaves molder and rot
Dig beneath them and feel the Earth,
hot to the touch...
Inner warmth, outer beauty;
i've a life in a moment as such
and never regret an instant...
