Had I the strength to carry you,
through mossy oak we’d rest awhile
We’d talk about our former days,
while sharing laughs and bashful smiles
Winter... is still a speck away;
this autumn is our time to dine
Let’s make the most of every day,
while eating cheese and sipping wine
For life… it has this quite way,
of slipping by without a sound
So autumn is the time of year,
to spread the colors all around
If time it self could just stand still,
we could paint portraits of our lives
And live forever in a dream,
where autumn shadows still survive

Oh, this is nice, Cindy. There's such a gentle feel and reminiscence within its lines. If only time would stand still, just once in awhile so that we could gather our thoughts, paint our life stories before going on. A beautiful piece, Sis
Good luck in the contest

Lovely Poem, Sweet Dove!
Autumn seems like a cauldrun of collected colors and last mementos of time to savor in crisp remembrance that glow to warm us in repose. It reminds of beginnings and endings, but also that which is eternally renewing. Love.

This is a very beautifully written poem, some wonderful imagery here within your words. My favorite lines :
"If time it self could just stand still,
we could paint portraits of our lives"
The bkgd is also beautiful, very soft.
