Stillness settles o’er the earthThe trees are sleeping before rebirth
Just yesterday they wore golden hair
Their crimson garb with sunlit flair
Their starring role awesome and serene
The tall oaks in their last days of green
Maroon dogwoods and pink hydrangeas
Tall oaks tower over gapping strangers
Over the valley aflame with poplars
The landscapes quiet under the stars
Autumn colors set the world aglow
Now shed their fiery leaves below
Toasty yellows carpet my garden path
Must the chill of winter come so fast?
As the trees take their final bow
Katsura’s burnt sugary smell’s a wow
Like the crisp topping on crème brulee
It fills the air with tempting spray
The maples have poured out their heart
Liquid gold, deep amber from the start
Evergreens punctuate the scene so fine
Emerald and dark green, needles ‘n pine
Come and revel in fall’s color glory
Nature tells such a brilliant story.
