AUTUMN

Dusk of the year
Blowing so cool
I welcome you

You bring fresh
Skin tingling breezes
That caresses me
And whisper of the wonders to come

I always longingly expect you
Hoping you will be
Laden with bounty

You are a time to gather
A time to recollect
A time to get ready for the
Winter's night

Your soothing wind
Is gladly welcomed
After the summer’s heat

Autumn how I have missed you so
Sweet logs crackling on a warm fire
Make me content
Experiencing you
I feel blessed by you

Harvest time summons when you appear
Nature’s abundance seems to overflow
I marvel at the wonders you always bring

Time of gathering
Time of coming rest
I thank you most sincerely
For I have worked hard and need the rest

May the pleasant glow of the sun
And nights so cool
Be prolonged

Oh autumn
I wish you welcome
For I have missed you so
