Autumn’s Flames

I was blessed enough to be able to ride my bike today on our Greenway System along the river and see some of the leaves on the trees starting to change colors. Even though it was a little cloudy they were still beautiful! Wrote a quick poem about it and hope you enjoy.

Autumn Flames

Fiery flames
Never meant to be contained
Mixed among the greens
The cooler colors
Still your sisters, brothers
Meant to complement one another

Your warmer tones
Float over my head 
& I do not have to enjoy
Your beauty all alone
Others, they stop
Breezes, they blow
Carrying your leaves
To skip, to hop
Over each & every stone

So take some time
After you’ve finished my 
Pale rhyme
Enjoy your day
& take the time to stay
Caught in autumn’s 
Fiery flames!
