Autumn Jewel Box
the spell she casts over me
walking in the woods on a glorious autumn day
the colors of the leaves thrill me
as it would the heart of a child
each variation and magnificent shape
there is so much to see
it is my favorite escape
i feel a sway of romance settling in
the tune of my heart takes a cozy, luxurious spin
as if i am a bear preparing to settle into her den
what is this spell that Autumn has cast over me
i thought it was Spring that could do this to me
i am collecting leaves
to me they are as fine works of art
there is so much beauty to see all around
i can’t stop looking at the leaves on the ground
their beauty and diversity astounding
i feel as if i am wanting to preserve these moments
slowing time
like a beloved friend i dread to miss
if i have something of her
i feel i could hold her close
Autumn please stay for a while
is there a dread in my heart
of what winter holds
or…
