On misty Autumn mornings when the dew is on the grass
the air is so much cooler than the earth,
vapours rising slowly swirled as chilly zephyrs pass
the sun comes up to herald new day’s birth.
The hedgerows are be-decked in tasty berries black and red
as beads of moisture settle on the ground,
each little drop is strung upon the finest silken thread
a thousand diamonds sparkle all around.
The sun not at its highest but with strength to lift the chill
and summer days have yet to lose their hold,
the seasons changing slowly, for today Autumn is still
while green trees change their coats to red and gold.
Take advantage of the sunshine, for the Winter days are grey
Mother Nature has decreed how it shall be,
invigorate your senses so you feel alive today
for Autumn is a wondrous sight to see.
