"Changing Colors"

 

Beautiful leaves of emerald green.

Through the spring and summer I have seen.

 

 

Yet as the autumn winds begin to blow.

Comes the flight of the leaf painter,

from where I don't know.

 

 

Like a touch of magic, the colors appear.

As the wind plays a dance for everyone to hear.

 

 

With a touch of their wand,

they bring a new look.

To the mountains, the meadows,

and down by the brook.

 

 

Colors of Yellow, Brown, Orange and Red,

The beauty of Autumn spins in my head.

 

 

Laid awake I have, so late at night,

To watch the painters in their flight.

Fast asleep I have fallen without the chance.

To watch the painters perform their dance.

 

 

As it all goes away when the snow starts to fall.

Fond memories of Autumn I will always recall.

 

 

 

The End
