Trees Will Listen...

The cool creeps in
     with frosty fingers
feeling their way down
      the windows left open overnight
Did you sleep tight
     wrapped in a thousand blankets
as the black of night
     turned grey of morning
and the sky turned itself
     into a comforter of white?
The cool just right,
     a soothing comfort in the sweatshirt
and my corduroys sparkle in the light
     The day is ripe for a scenic ride
along the river with my children
     as we watch for pockets of first Fall colors
to hear music in the open air
     Would that i could take you there...
