God’s bountiful beauty before my eyes
lovingly embraces me while
taking my very breath away
Suddenly I am overcome with the desire to dance
In the billowy breeze, frolic in the waning sun
Laughing joyfully while I play
While soulful music hauntingly plays
Embracing me with such glorious sounds
That only I seem to hear
Listen, listen as time floats by
Descending so gently, peacefully
I shed a solemn tear
I am surrounded by such extravagant colors
Auburns, copper, gold, bronze, browns
Reds, yellows, orange and certainly greens
Capturing the very essence of Mother Natures intention
While basking in her picturesque theme
Emotions represented in the colors of Love
Happiness and Joy for all to see
Come, look through my eyes and perhaps
You will see what I see
Only then will you enjoy
These wonderful days with me
Fall is my season of choice
Reflective of past joys and sorrows
Oh yes, Autumn my special time of year
Such memories held inside makes me who I am
Completed by hope for the future and dreams
Of the past that I will always hold dear
For all the seasons in the year
I thank the Good Lord above
Especially for my Autumn Days
The days I truly love
Author notes
Autumn is the season for me!

The Autumn contesting Winter's white embrace for looks with an Artistic mess of red to brown. Its Hard to find a Season that we cant love for one reason or another. As they parade themselves before us on the regular Cycle...

Take this as no offense but I find that the center alignment in this case, just doesn't do any kind of justice for the impact you're going for and another thing I hope you might consider taking under advisment is breaking up some of the more lengthier lines in the stanzas that way the shorter ones would not feel so 'hidden under the weight' of the other lines in that particular stanza. Other from that the imagery overally was execellent -
